I had constipation few days ago and I was placed on omeprazole but since I started using the omeprazole... I've been having runny bowel... I don't know if it's as a result of the medication

    Did you start taking omeprazole because of your constipation? I'd stop taking it to see if your constipation has cleared up or if it comes back. I'd also call the doctor and see how long you should continue to take it if you feel like its gone from being constipated to runny bowel. If you get back constipated if your off, maybe your dosage needs to be lowered.
