Prevacid and stool color
Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid and stool color
prevacid
I eat lots of carrots (betacarotene), but I did that before the lansaprozole (prevacid). The color definitely changed after the med change. I have gerd and as a result the esophogial ulcer which was biopsied and non-malignant. I have the cough and lately my throat has become very constricted. often feeling like a pill is stuck in there which really *****.
Appreciate your relating you're experience.
Due to the presence of aluminum, it can produce some changes in stool color. This is temporary and resolves after the cessation of treatment, which typically lasts for 2 weeks.
Hope this reassures you. There is no harm in taking a multivitamin with an ulcer.

People of all ages (including infants and children) can get it and may have green and/or mucous in stools, foul smelling stools, diarrhea, etc. (I had this at age 50 at the same time my mother, 81 at the time, had it....so I have read a lot about it and gone with my mother to multiple doctors. )
New research shows that Prevacid, etc. can upset the natural balance of bacteria in the digestive system and make a person more prone to C. Diff. infection.
Not to frighten you--but C. Diff.

Have you had a breath test for H. pylori done?
46 is early for colorectal cancer, nausea is not a typical symptom. If pain was from cancer, you'd probably bleed from the intestine. Maybe it's good if you have a hemmocult test for hidden blood in the stool.
, sometimes intense hunger then feels nauseous when food is presented, decreased appetite, overall pale color with dark circles under her eyes, and sig. decreased energy/fatigue. Her pcp did stool samples (-), a U/a (-), and bloodwork (normal except slightly inc. SED rate-23). He referred to GI who rec. Prevacid 15 mg 2x/day and follow-up in 2 months. He said ulcer can't be r/o w/o scope which he will do if not better, but that Prevacid should help.
Hi I am a 29 years old male, been healthy all my life.
I don't drink but I do smoke, like 7-8 cigarettes per day, sometimes less.
About 2 months ago I started having stomach cramping and chest pain. When it started it hurts so bad I couldn't even eat. After a few days I went to the doctor and he prescribe me a H2 blocker (forgot name sorry).
the toilet paper has blood all over it and noticed there was some blood attached to my stool and my stool was green, my stool being green has been going on for about a week but the blood coming out of my rectum has been going on off and on for a month , i feel isnt right ! should i be worried ? I went to see a doctor but he told me its nothing to worry about but it keeps happening! what should i do ? my mom has Diverticulitis shes had problems with her intestines since she was 16 !
but it’s been about 15 days since all of that and my stomach has been slightly better, i feel pain here and there inside my stomach but it comes and goes. my stool is solid and good since i eat rice and bread again, but… i’ve noticed today my stool is dark black… really scared me.. even tho only half of my stool was black and the other half was normal brown??
So I had normal color stool I check as I’m always afraid I have cancer. I looked at it after it came out looked fine water was fine. I sat a bit reading messages then wiped. Normal color. But then noticed the poop clouded the water a reddish color. So I panicked. Grabbed something broke the stool apart nothing red. Why would it seep out red is this a red flag no pun intended. I’m freaking out. I go to the damn dr over everything. Ugh.
Red tint as red streaks or stool of reddish color?
Hemorrhoids, or eating something red (beet-root)...are most often causes.
Rough wiping, straining.
Then food poisoning (goes with diarrhea), intestinal worms (Possible: mucus, bloating, diarrhea).
Diverticulitis (bloating, diarrhea)
Crohn's disease (usually start in young adults...)
Polyp, or cancer...well, not impossible in your age, but 50+ is a common age for colorectal cancer.
Constipation, good times. I always get constipated when I am out of my normal environment. And one time when I went to Europe for 2 weeks, I was constipated the entire trip! I was so uncomfortable by the end. Abdominal pain is part of constipation and weird stools after as well. Improving what you eat should help. Here is what an ER doctor told me to do with my son for severe constipation--- grape juice. Simple grape juice. A full cup every day.
If that is not the case, please get your liver enzymes tested. The typical color of stool is called bilirubin, which is brown, and is made enzymatically from the red color of meat (hemoglobin). But if your liver has a problem, and the enzyme to convert hemoglobin to bilirubin is missing or impaired, another color can come out, biliverdin, which is green.
Good luck!
My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
