Sour stomach: And diarrhea may respond to a strict simple carb diatribe for a day or two, ie. Baked potato with only salt/pepper, white rice, dry toast, white rice, saltines and a qt or 2 of gatoraid.

PRILOSEC CAUSES!!!: Prilosec may be causing this. Gas is caused by bacteria in our intestines fermenting undigested food. Prilosec interferes with digestion by blocking production of hydrochloric acid which is essential to proper digestion. It's proven to cause imbalances of our flora ; increases risk of c. Dificile, a life-threatening infection whose main symptom is diarrhea. See http://bit.Ly/1b1avqs for details.
