title: Lansoprazole: a cause of secretory diarrhea.
abstract: A case of severe diarrhea and hypergastrinemia after 6 wk of lansoprazole therapy is presented. This represents the only fully evaluated report of severe diarrhea due to lansoprazole and comes to the interesting conclusion that it was a secretory diarrhea likely due to lansoprazole and not a gastrinoma or another cause.
