Hi, you could try Gaviscon after meals and before bed and see if that helps take the metallic taste away.

I've not really had that but the idea about taking Gaviscon as well is a good one. This might also mean you keep your omeprazole dose lower. I've had a metallic taste in my mouth sometimes in the past if I had an infection. Might be worth just checking that taste isn't something else. Probably not but worth checking?
