Prilosec Or Omeprazole - Reduces Dumping !?!

[Mid West 99]

Well, I did not know this. I take 20mg of Omeprazole each day for heartburn. I saw my dietician yesterday and he said that if you regularly take these, your dumping may be reduced. So, you think you're a non dumper, like me (excpet for one ill-judged chinese takeaway) but actually, if you weren't on one of these, you may dump more! Who knew?

Boy that is interesting. I've been on Prilosec for years and was really hoping I'd be able to get off of it after surgery, but haven't been able to. I have no dumping what so ever. Maybe will try to go off meds and see what happens. I hate to admit I need the dumping to help with self-control but I do.

I did a search in this information and could not find any supporting documentation...interesting.

This doesn't make much sense to me either but darn if it works I'll start Prilosec forever!!!!

I take two 20mg of omperazole, one in the morning and one at night. And I still dump, but sometimes it is on purpose due to the fact I'm so constipated from just a Protein diet. Benafiber sugar free really does a number. As long as I'm home dumping isn't a problem.

This is very interesting information and I will check it out on my next visit. Thanks for the information. There are times I seem to be dumping and I am just eating what I am allowed to eat so I am not sure what the problem can be. Thanks again.
