Hi. i've been taking omeprazole for about a month for acid reflux. yesterday and today i had loose stools that were orange. is this caused by the rx?

Omeprazole sideeffec: Abdominal pain, lose tools diarrhea and bloating maybe side effect of omeprazole. Stools color change may depend on the diet or gallbladder dysfunction
