It's not directly related, but having been ill, being on the omeprazole and having lower stomach acid did let the infection take more of a hold than normal. Having stopped taking it, I got acid stomachs a lot quicker (the same day) than I did last time I stopped, which makes me tend to think it's all a typical immune system extra acid style response.
General causes of acid stomach seem to be familial, but the GPs don't seem interested in having me examined via endoscope currently.
