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.

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
