I cannot take artificial sweeteners and just got a prescription for Omeprazole Dr 10 MG Capsules. The list of ingredients has sugar spheres. Is this an artificial sweetener? Artificial sweeteners cause ulcerative colitis in me and I cannot take sulfa products. I have a very raw stomach and need to take this med. as I will be getting knee surgery in 8 weeks and will have to take blood thinners. I actually postponed the surgery that I was due to have on Mar. 15th. Thanks for you help.
