I have no personal experience of omeprazole, but antibiotics are a completely different category of risk for allergic reactions to that of most other meds as they target the very systems which can produce the reactions. You're unlikely to run into serious issues with omeprazole. Any side-effects are usually of the 'pain in the butt' category, sometimes literally, than life threatening and most experience none.
