it is easy to gain on a diet high in carbs, which we absorb 100%.
What is a days menu like for you?
carbs and artificial sweeteners are the usual culprits to stinky gas and poop.

Thanks for the response. I am a coffee lover too. Maybe titration is the way to go. I just don't know if there is a down side staying on it if I don't have symptoms of a heartburn/gastric distress.

My doctor and I have discussed the need for Prilosec, he would like me on them until my 3 year then we will try and titrate off. I know I'll have to cut down on my daily coffee before we go there. Normally during the summer I cut way down on my coffee naturally, so I'll work at not picking up extra cups come fall. Should be good to go at my three year.
Good luck,

I'm 3 yrs old. Surgeon's office says it's my choice to stay on or go off Prilosec. Wondering if anyone has any reason to stay on or go off.
Also, I am just not starting Vit K 1 since I have had an adequate level thus far. I have never been on Vit E.
Everyone talks about ADEK. I was only on A and D. Just wondering the difference in treatment.

Most likely what you what you experience may be vasovagal reflex
Here is some explanation is below:
Overview of the Vasovagal Reflex
Updated December 19, 2018
Do you ever begin sweating and feel like you are going to pass out during a bowel movement? It's possible that your vagus nerve is causing this sensation and triggering your body's vasovagal response.
Common triggers include straining during a bowel movement or, for some people, the sight of blood. Either of these can be enough to send you into a fainting spell called vasovagal syncope and there are a few warning signs that lead up to it.
