A member asked:
I took prilosec for about two weeks and stopped because it was causing loose bowels. that was three weeks ago and they are still loose. why is this?

Diarrhea: It is possible that the Prilosec is not causing your diarrhea, but that you have picked an intercurrent infection. Consult your doctor for further evaluation.
