A member asked:
Is it normal to have very very soft stool (mostly a yellow/light brown color) when using pantoprazole(pantoloc) 40mg /day/before breakfast! ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can be: PPIs such as pantoprazole can cause loose stools and bloating. You may want to try off it and see if your symptoms improve. Be sure you let your doctor know about these symptoms - an alternative medication can help with less side effects.
