I have been taking 40mg Omeprazole for a year now for a stomach ulcer and because I also take celebrex 200mg for osteoarthritis I also have diverticulitis/ diverticulosis and had 30 polyps removed from my colon dec. 2012 After my colon surgery I had bloating and irregular stool for 6 months It was almost as if I had colitis at first but my bowels seem to have ssettled down and are almost normal now My problem now and for the past several months is I have pretty fowl flatulence all day every day Recently I have given up anything with tomato sauce, spicy or hot foods, fried foods, and green vegetables but still have flatulenceI tried taking gas x but it didnt work so I have started taking 2 generic gas x before each meal It seems to help some I still have some gas but I wonder if its ok to take with the omeprazole and I also wonder if hot tea or dark pop could also be contributing to mygas?
