Hi Steven, i too have acid which comes up into my throat , stings like mad i agree, i too am taking omeprazole which has helped me immensely, my doctor told me not to eat anything too spicey as this would cause the acid to occur again, i am on omeprazole 20 mg for ever now, if you smoke stop, if you eat spicey things then stop that too, and be careful what alcoholic drinks you take as this can cause the acid to occur...

See how doubling your medication works for you, if things don't improve then I'm sure your doctor will want to have you get an Endoscopy to see if you do have an ulcer, and to look for other causes.  It's all treatable, so don't worry too much over this.  Take care.
