Hi All, this is an embarrasing question, but would prilosec cause bm's to be lighter on color? I am on it, obviously, :)
when I was off another PPI that was not working, things returned to normal, but after now starting prilosec, I am notcing it again. I can assume it's the meds, but thought I'd throw it out to you all.
Thanks so much!

Good question and the person that might be able to answer it...call and ask your pharmacist! Let us know what you learn, OK?
