Omeprazole and Psilocybin?

So I've had GERD since I was a little kid and take 20mg of omeprazole every day to manage it.

IIRC, psilocybin is converted to psilocin in the acidic environment of the stomach.

Could taking a proton-pump inhibitor screw with this process and lead to reduced potency due to not enough psilocybin being hydrolyzed?

I'm just wondering because mushrooms are so expensive, I don't want to buy a couple of grams of shrooms and end up wasting my money.

Also a tangential question, I've experimented with LSD twice now and it makes me feel very restless and uncomfortable, almost like akathisia, I can't sit still, constantly shifting my body position and not feeling comfortable in any way, and in my mind too this same feeling is present in a mental way, I'll keep thinking things like "Am I enjoying this? Gosh I don't know. Am i really high? maybe. Yeah I'm definitely high. What is it like? Gosh I don't know." like that for hours and hours. So I'm thinking I might like mushrooms better because they are less stimulating. Would I be right?
 
I take omeprazole fairly regularly, and have taken it daily in the past and it has never effected my tripping before. If you're worried, could you not just take it after you've ingested the mushrooms/after you've tripped?
