Ok I've just had a quick google at probiotics and have only just understood your "take at least 5 billion on an empty stomach" comment!
I thought it was a bit of a throw-away comment meaning take as much as you can, rather than the number of bacteria the pills contain! D'oh!

I promise to still love you even if this doesn't work for my messy bladder.

I too take prazole twice a day and Zantac every night for my acid reflux/gerd situation. Helps, but still not perfect.
Darn Meds! Reak havoc on a body!

As others have mentioned Omeprazole is to protect my stomach from pred eating away at the lining. I also found it helped with some of the nausea while taking cytoxan.
Several times my docs have told me that I shouldn't really need it but I nearly die of indigestion every time I try to stop taking it. Even cutting back to 20mg is really noticeable.

If you're suffering from these problems then get yourself some, I couldn't be without it now.
