Detailed Answer:
HI
I read carefully all your concerns and I can say as follows:
1. You can use mylanta. It will help to reduce acid production and improve the symptoms.
2.Otherwise if omeprasole is not effective than you can use Pantoprasole as a new drug generation and more effective.
You can use up to 80 mg of pantoprasole and use gaviscon as an antacide.
Hope it was helpful to you!
