I just want to ask if anyone else has experienced decreased diarrhea symptoms after stopping an acid reducer? I have taken Prevacid 15 to 30 mg. off and on for the last 5 years. I know the most common side effects mentioned are headache, abdominal pain, and diarrhea. (Which I kinda find amusing, I mean it is prescribed for acid reflux and 2 of the most common side effects have to do with stomach problems...
. ) Sorry to get side tracked. I have recently stopped the prevacid and have not had to take any immodium in almost 2 weeks! I have had ibs both c and d for over 30 years, I am now 38. This past year has been the worst for the ibs-d, and I have tried many things to ease the symptoms. I still have constant bloating and gas, but am thrilled with the decrease in the "d". Just wanted to see if any of you have had this experience? Thanks and I hope all of you are doing ok. Kandy
