Ppi can cause diarrhoea as side effects but we can't be sure that this current episode is due to that
The diarrhoea related to ppi might take 1-2 weeks to reduce after the drug has been stopped, however if any other associated complications are present like sibo it might take longer time
Next Steps
basic blood investigations, USG abdomen, Endoscopy and colonoscopy with biopsy
