Prevacid for toddler
Common Questions and Answers about Prevacid for toddler
prevacid
We've had him on Prevacid for almost a year. It used to be given to him twice a day. Now we only give it once, in the morning. We are afraid to eliminate milk or Pediasure entirely because he needs the calories. We have taken him off for a few days - but not seen improvement. In February, he had an endoscopy, and the Dr. said she took biopsies to look for allergies to milk or soy.
We still have to rule out eggs and shellfish. She is also on Prevacid daily. In the interim, meal times are a nightmare. She wants to try new foods, but licks them. She refuses to chew and swallow her food. She will stilll go for gerber food if I offer it to her, but will not eat anything that has texture in it. She has never eaten pancakes, toast, etc. Even oatmeal has to be runny - she gags on food that is thick.
We have had him to the ER 3 weeks ago and they said its the flu. But..he is still doing this. I cant imagine a toddler having the flu for so long without any other symptoms!
Last monday we took him to the doctor again and they said he was fine, and would outgrow it. They gave us the option of putting him on zantac which we have done. For the first few days he wans't getting sick at all, now he is back to getting sick 5 to 9 times a day again.
Hi. I take Prevacid, which is a little pricey, even with insurance. However, there is another one, Aciphex, which was about 30 dollars cheaper. I am back on the Prevacid as the Aciphex didn't work as well ( for me...I was on Prevacid for years and only switched because of the cost...65 dollars). You may want to ask about that. Also, I was told my pharmacist that otc prilosic works well too.
Constipation can go hand in hand with reflux and the worse the stool is the more gas and pushing up and reflux can occur .... if you suspect the reflux in action pls. be careful with the flax seed oil for risk of possible aspiration into her lungs if she refluxes as she ingests it .. I was told to fully emulsify it in liquid in a blender on high for 2 mins and then serve ...
If you don't think reflux I would maybe also post on the Gastroenterology board ...
My daughter also takes pentasa and WAS taking prevacid. The prevacid didn't seem to help her and our GI switched her to prilosec. My daughter has had no complaints with the prilosec. Both prevacid and prilosec have the same actions so they do the same things. The only interaction that I know of with prevacid and penicillin is with a type of penicillin called Ampicillin and it may inhibit the absorption of the prevacid.
I've been taking prevacid 30 mg TWICE a day for 10 years. Once a day before that. Doc says should be no problem. I was recently diagnosed with osteoporosis in my spine (aver. -3.2) and osteopenia in my hip. I am very active, martial arts instructor. 5'11" and 185 lbs. I was told to cut back the Prevacid to once a day. My blood work shows no obvious problems. Has prevacid been linked to Osteoporosis?
i have had bright red blood in my stool for a few days now but very little to no pain, could it be from my taking prevacid?
I just went to the doctor to get blood tests and make sure that my drinking has not already damaged my body beyond repair. My doctor gave me Prevacid for some stomach issues I have been Having. Does anyone know if it is safe to take it when I have been drinking? I am really trying to stop but I am having problems with the withdrawls so I am trying to wean myself off. Any one have any opinions? I would hate to do more damage when I ma trying to correct already done damage.
My bone density plummeted from 15% above normal to 25% below normal in 6 years (post menopause). Could Prevacid excellerate bone loss. I don't have many risk factors for osteoporosis, no family history.

I eat a fairly low carb diet, minimal alcohol, caffeine, and cola.

After taking Prevacid, I gain my appetite back. The problem is, I have develope new symptoms after taking prevacid for 1 week. I am having very loose bowel movements, blood on the toliet paper when I wipe, indigestion, lower abdominal pain. Most importantly is I am having more frequent heartburn and chest pain, which I don't have when I am on the H2 blocker.
Started Prevacid and also Strattera for ADD. We were able to wean off of the Prevacid and just stick to Strattera, as our peds thinks the Strattera helps him with the anxiety related to the GERD, and therefore he had no complaints of symptoms of GERD. In March we went off of the Strattera, and within 4 weeks the symptoms of GERD re-appeared ( Not eating, coughing, feeling like something is caught in his throat.) We went back on Strattera and Prevacid.
Hi I have had GERD for a few years now. I've never had halitosis. Recently my reflux started acting up, so i doubled my prevacid. I'm not sure what is causing my very horrid halitosis. I have figured out it is not dental related. In fact when I burp, I can feel the hot yucky gas coming up from my stomach. A recent google showed that prevacid can cause a side effect of halitosis. Other comments insist it is the GERD but I am not entirely convinced.
I'm just about to start treating my gastritis, but want to make sure I'm taking the right thing to fight it. Do mastic gum, DGL licorice, slippery elm, and OTC products like Prilosec or Prevacid, etc. cause loose stools? I'm prone to loose stools and don't want the problem to get worse. Thanks for any help and suggestions!
I have taken prevacid off and on for years without any problem. When the stomach pain started, I thought it was caused by my adrenal insufficiency, since it is one of the symptoms. I have only been on the high dose for about 5 months--and I think the stomach pain started before that---but there is definitely a connection to it now.
I had to raise my HC, was having symptoms that suggested my basline dose was too low.
