Due to a rescheduled appointment and poor planning, I ran out of Nexium on Wednesday.  I decided to try not taking it until I get a refill on Tuesday.  Both yesterday and today I've had horrible diarrhea midday (my stomach is normally really stable these days and I have one solid BM in the morning and that's about it).  

Are these things connected?  Can stomach acid cause diarrhea?

That's interesting. I've had the same issue before, but I just assumed it was the food that didn't agree with me... It'll be interesting to see what other's have to say.

Most definitely. I've had this issue and my doc confirmed it was due to the acid.

Great, thanks!  I had no problems since I posted this and started taking Prilosec to tide me over until I get more Nexium.
