Having real problems with reflux and bowel movements have changed to tan colour could there be a connection ppi medication doesn't work

See answer: Likely reflux and tan stools aren't related. Having tan stools occasionally can be normal. But if the change is persistent it can indicate a problem in the hepatobiliary system(liver, gallbladder and bile ducts) causing an obstruction to the flow of bile, and you should see a physician. For detailed advice on reflux see http://bit.ly/ZquHBK and http://bit.ly/1KQEMhN
