Antacid preparations such as (Prilosec, Prevacid, Nexium, Pepcid, and
Zantac) inhibit the acids in the stomach helpful to digestion. However, there are other consequences as well. The use of these antacids leaves

as well as diarrhea.

by non-hospitalized healthy adults. Some scientists wonder whether this rise
in C. difficile infection rates is tied to heavy use of antacids.
