A member asked:
I'm on medication(lanzoprazole 2x a day) , and i have bad cramps and soft stool often, could these be related?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diarrhea is common: Diarrhea is a common side effect with lansoprazole and other PPIs, and is seen in roughly 10% of patients taking these medication. This is likely related to alterations in digestion due to acid being suppressed. This diarrhea can often cause cramps as well.
