I’m on daily time release Omeprazole now. I’d love to stop. Would you guess the one of these Probiotics would do the job? (Although my prescription is MUCH less than these because of insurance, I can’t imagine Omeprazole is good for you overall.)

It's worth a try. It worked for me the first day. I was astonished because I had been in severe distress for months. I could only sleep sitting up. When I lay down I would have reflux within a couple of minutes.

I think my stomach problems started when I took amoxicillin when I had the Chinese flu and my gut flora got decimated. The key is a probiotic with delayed release. Without it, the microorganisms get killed by your stomach acid before they reach your small intestine.

This one is cheaper than Align and has a larger variety of microorganisms.

I think there are smaller, cheaper packages. Once you get the right bacilli in your stomach they will reproduce on their own. If it works the first day like it did for me, you probably won't need to take any more, but you might as well take them every day until you run out. That's what I did.
