GERD
"My condition:  GERD with mild haital hernia, and occasional gastritis.



Two 20mg Omeprazol capsules (encapsulated granules) twice daily for 3 months, followed by 20mg twice daily for 1 month to taper off; for a  near acute gastritis following endoscopic exam with no other abnormalities or HB infection.



For me it seemed to work better when I took it it 1 hour before breakfast &amp; 1 hour before (@ 5 pm) Dinner; rather than before going to bed...



1. It takes at least 3 days before any decrease in heartburn; but if I eat some wrong foods (acidic) my unforgiving stomach lets me know in the evening. 



2. A few spaced-out mild headaches lasting up to an hour.



3. Dry lips with no irritation."
