What is the difference ... gasX and Prevacid
Prevacid is a PPI and combats stomach acid. Gas-x just helps minimize gas in your digestive system.

I'm almost 10 months out and I've never once needed Gas-X.
I took a PPI (liquid Prilosec) for the first month or two post-op and I've had to take Nexium twice (for 14 days each) since then.

probably a stupid question ...
janet
Prilosec is a PPI,protein pump inhibitor. The protein pump causes your stomach to make acid. Don't ask me why it is called a protein pump,nBut has nothing to do with the protein we eat.
When you take a PPI,it turn off the proton pump so your stomach doesn't make acid.
Gas-X breaks the gas bubbles down into very small particles that don't cause pain and pass easier.
