Has anybody used Prilosec in their meds? My mom has an ileostomy. She's 87. They prescribed the Prilosec for gut health. Mom is on a feeding tube. My mom was independent, then this surgery zapped the life out of her. She's bedridden. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi
I take Prilosec daily. I tried not taking it, but I was having problems swallowing, plus my stomach started to hurt. As soon as I took a Prilosec, everything went away. My doctor told me I should get off of it, but I can't find a suitable replacement. So to answer your question… yes, I take Prilosec, and it does help me. Good luck and God bless.

I began my Urostomy life February 27th, 2023...a month and a half ago. I stumbled upon this site from another on Youtube and website called VeganOstomy and between that site and this one, most of my fear and worry of not having any answers other than calling the Dr's office recording menu and hoping to hear back in the next day or two for an answer to leaks, skin irritations etc, or just feeling alone and the "no one understands" thoughts I had to look forward to in my mind were all put to rest by these two websites and the community here at MaO!! I have been here for a few weeks now, and the help and support offered by the members here is just amazing!! The information and support is absolutely priceless for anyone recently out of their surgery and have tons of questions or had it for years...sit down...have a good read and you will see for yourself!!

I take Prilosec twice a day. It doesn't do a lot for me, but I recently found out I have a dysfunctional gallbladder, so that might be why Prilosec isn't helping me.
