Prescription omeprazole treats gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) in adults and children 1 year and older, and to prevent the reappearance of ulcers.
If you're taking omeprazole, you should wait at least eight hours before consuming coffee, spicy foods, fatty foods, sodas, and alcohol, according to the advice of most doctors.
Coffee and caffeine, on the other hand, have been associated to an increase in gastric acid and a worsening of stomach and GERD symptoms.
The rise in the production of stomach acid. Gastrin hormone secretion stimulation.
It can produce heartburn symptoms due to the GERD's action on the esophageal sphincter, which relax the lower esophageal sphincter.

Changing the pressure in the sphincter of the lower esophageal sphincter may cause acid reflux. Caffeine has also been linked to an increase in stomach acid production, according to some research.
But there isn't a lot of evidence to back it up. In no well-conducted studies has caffeine in coffee been demonstrated to have an influence on your stomach acid production or your lower esophageal sphincter (reference).
Caffeine-free coffee may be healthier for your stomach and lessen the symptoms of GERD. One study indicated that decaffeinated coffee caused less acid to be produced than regular coffee did.
