I'm not sure: of your question...you might help that constipation by increasing your fluid intake! Plain water is ok but if you like juice Apricot and Pear juice are natural "laxatives" (Prune juice being the "classic" Congrats on being able to discontinue Prilosec!!! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Prilosec for 15yrs,weaned off cause benign gastric polyps. Tried pepcid, Zantac (ranitidine) didn't help reflux. Safe to go back to Prilosec which I know helps me.
