A member asked:

Why would i notice an improvement in my bowel movements while taking a ppi (nexium)? ive noticed the healthiest, widest log shaped bowel movements when taking ppi?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Loose stools or diarrhea are the side effects of PPIs that we most often hear about from patients but constipation is also a potential side effect occurring in some patients. Your stool transit time has apparently been slowed down by your taking a PPI resulting in well formed stools.
