Thanks for asking
I gone through your question. your 13 week daughter is on prevacid for reflux. she is passing green stool and lots of gas.
The prevacid not cause these side effects.
It was your treating pediatrican ,i would make one point here that you said that your daughter weight gain and growth is good. The reflux is normal for this age group children. Just keep baby head above the abdomen while feeding and burp after feed for 10-15 min. In my view no need of prevacid as baby growth is normal .
hope i able to answer your query
