Prilosec (I think that is what you guys call omeprazole) can help with that as well as stopping NSAIDS if that is what you are taking.
As far as laxatives go, try switching to a PEG laxative (Miralax I think in the states) three times a day. That will make your stools much softer and easier to pass. Avoid stimulant laxatives like senna, bisacodyl, etc.
And probiotics only help gut flora related problems, eg antibiotic related diarrhea.
Hope that helps with the stomach issues

Mobic
Thats short list of things I am on. Not including my insulin and lisinoprill. I was actually almost weened off all my pain meds by last thursday when the stomach issue started. The ER told me the pain meds plus mobic would keep the stomach pain away and it does for a couple of hours. I never took the mobic ( which would help if it was just inflammation of the gastro) but I replaced it with a one of those 400MG , i think, liquid Canadian Advil. I havent taken any laxatives or softners since the stomach pain started. My stools are still very loose and runny. I didnt eat anything but some chicken soup broth really until this morning. It seems my appetite is coming back but my stomach is still painful.
