Hi @rajoy1, Sorry you are having trouble with your medication. I would definitely recommend calling your doctor to see if there is a different combination of medicine that you can take besides omeprazole and gaviscon. Let them know that your digestive system cannot handle them.
Have you called them yet about this problem?

I have a hiatal hernia and chronic diarrhea but it’s not from the meds and I take the omaprozole only. I wonder if just the hernia itself could cause the diarrhea? No body can figure out what is causing the diarrhea and I’ve had every stool test the have done on me. It’s crazy. I’ll let you know if they come up with an answer for the diarrhea when I see the surgeon Tuesday. That’s the only Dr I haven’t seen yet!!!!!! Good luck. Keep me posted and I’ll do the same.

I live on Ultra Pepto daily,7 years .. and I still have diarrhea 2-3 x day and chronic digestive disorders. I’ve been on everything snd had every test done ✅ and re done .
Just got back from Mayo Clinic Jacksonville to re do many tests .
Same 6 diagnoses, still can’t figure me out and still sick every day and night .
I wish you much luck 🍀.
