I know a lot of people who have stomach issues. I know far fewer people who have stomach issues as well as blood and heart issues. If you do or know someone who does, I just read a story that confirms that if you do take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole (Prilosec) along with a blood thinner like clopidogrel (Plavix), you are more likely to get relief from your G.I. symptoms with no extra danger in cardiovascular health. This little tidbit was brought to you because of all my friends with stomach pain. You know who you are. Just file this away in the back of your mind somewhere. You're welcome. :)
