    I have been taking Prilosec OTC for about 3 years. I've been taking it 4 days a week, but I'm trying to cut back to 3 days of less as I believe my excessive gas is caused by the lack of adequate digestion in my stomach due to the acid blocking. It's almost worse than the heartburn. Thinking of trying Prevacid OTC to see if the side effects are any different.
