H Pylori pain and green stool

by birdie2521, Oct 27, 2009 05:09PM
Hello,
I was recently diagnoised with H Pylori last week and began treament on Wednesday night with Prevpac, however, the Bioxin antibiotic was too much to handle and my doctor said to stop everything but prevacid on Saturday.  I am away on vacation and have an appointment next week with a GI doctor, but I have extreme stomach pain, bloating, and green loose stools sometimes green diarrhea.  Is there anything I can do to help the stomach discomfort?  Can the prevacid cause this?  I'm extremely concerned with the green stools and extreme pain. Is this normal?  Please help.
Thank you so much,
Maria

Hi,
Prevacid can cause loose stools. Take probiotic supplements for relief.
Stop prevacid ( because of diarrhea) and take Zantac for relief of abdominal pain.
