Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Prilosec (omeprazole) is PPI (proton pump inhibitor) . Its safe to use but you should change your eating habbits. Try to avoid caffeine ,spicy foods and drinks. Eat dinner 1 to 1-1/2 hr before going to sleep. Exercise daily . Eat fruits and green leaf vegetables.
Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any other query feel free to ask.
Wish you good health.
