A member asked:
Hi, i feel and look bloated but i have only eaten one meal today and i take prilosec for frequent heart burn and imodeum for loose stole. what canido?

Stop all. Start over: One meal a day is unhealthy. Your metabolic rate slows. You get fat. Long-term use of Prilosec stops proper digestion and is not approved. And can cause diarrhea! Imodium (loperamide) binds you up. Stop all self therapy and give yourself a break...
