Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Yes complete the course of prilosec and you would be relieved of your symptoms.
The dysentry could be due to either infection you got before taking prilosec or as a side effect of prilosec. You an take probiotics/yogurt for relief.
If dysentry is persisting a stool analysis may have to be done.
