Indigestion (?) - 4 year old Jack Russell

My pup is swallowing hard and stretching his neck as if he has indigestion. Twice before he was on cerenia 1 tab for 4 days and omeprazole 2x daily for three days, but I'm not finding this working as great as it once did (this week). He whimpers periodically as if he is in pain when he is going through this. He eats home made food and recently was given Optima adult digestive rabbit with potato dry food which I mix with a little water. He seems to like very much. He gets approx 1/2c (or little less) 2x daily but is hungry in-between. I did give him two table spoons of his home cooked meal this evening 3 hours after his dry food and after our walk; very active boy. Approx an hour later, this indigestion starts and he wants to eat grass which I don't allow him to. Is this indigestion or what? Thanks for your assistance! Video attached

I was wondering what his homemade diet consists of and also how long this has been going on.

..and I would add that I think it's perfectly all right for him to eat the grass, assuming it's clean and unsprayed. It usually helps them throw up the offending bits - a completely mechanical reflexive thing to do.
