Sour stomach - How Do I get rid of it?

by Mahri, Apr 23, 2008 11:24AM
I have taken Prilosec (over the counter) also antacids and malox
I have eaten very little due to the nausea. My tummy is distended and I have only a bile like loose stool.
Does Green Tea (decaffeinated) do any harm?
What do you suggest that I eat to keep my strength up?

Hi Mahri,
You are having dyspetic symptoms.
You need to continue your medications for a couple of weeks. If loose stool has occured after taking prilosec, then the medication could be the cause.

Green tea does not cause any harm.
