Avatar n tn 5 month old son has numerous little problems, when he was born everything seemed fine, after a few months it was found that he had right tortacullus( he gets physio) stridor due to laryngomalacia,severe reflux( he is on prevacid due to numerous choking episodes and low weight) He also is on his 3rd ekg since the left ventricle reading is always high.
Avatar m tn My 4-month old daughter has acid reflux. She was prescribed Prevacid three weeks ago as she was still irritable after 4-6 weeks of Zantac. After she started Prevacid she was less irritable but developed side-effects including giving up napping during the day and green, mucus-like foul smelling stool (started this week). Oh yeah, she also has a milk protein based sensitivity. My wife is still nursing but has given up all dairy and dairy-like foods.
Avatar n tn He had such a bad day yesterday that I stopped the Prevacid dosage last night just to see what would happen. I gave him some infant tylenol this morning (no Prevacid) and he drank 4ozs, which is more than half of what he had yesterday the entire day. Any help or suggestions would be great. This has been the hardest thing I have ever gone through. My son is in extreme pain and discomfort. He screams and cries during every feeding all day long.

168348 tn?1379357075 my daughter uses the solutab, you cant really give a ton of water to an infant. you could ask the pharmacist. i think the tabs are easiest, just pop it in and they disolve.

568875 tn?1424397205 Let me first refer to you a wonderful forum that deals with infant reflux and formula issues. Post your story under the "introduce yourself" section and you'll get plenty of wonderful tips and advice. www. infantreflux . org/forum (no spaces) Your sons story sounds exactly like what we dealt with my daughter when she was born (reflux AND tummy troubles) If your son has a milk or soy protein intolerance, a formula like Nutramigen might be helpful.

Avatar f tn Thank you for answering!
Avatar n tn Being that an infant is involved, and more so an infant born premature, SIDS would be a concern that your nephew’s Pediatricians have considered, therefore I will not mention the recommendations that the article cited, other than to briefly touch on them. The article recommended a consultation with a pediatric gastroenterologist. In addition, the thickness of the infant’s formula (or, when appropriate, cereal) and positioning the infant, were also discussed.

Avatar n tn My daughter is 6 months old with reflux. We just took her to the GI specialist who said she had blood in her stoole. She is on Reglan and prevacid. She is getting an upper GI study. Any other meds that can help? Advise. I also had twin girls that suffered from reflux. I hate the answer they will just grow out of it around 12 months.
Avatar n tn Are you using a slow flow nipple, sometimes this can help because if the infant is feeding to fast with a regular nipple then the infant can forget to breath (apnea). I suggest talkng to your pediatrician/cardiologist that gave you the holter monitor or whoever does the follow up appointment.
Avatar n tn Could it be the combo of the two meds are causing the reflux ? Am I reading it right that when on both meds last time you stopeed the Prevacid and the Strattera worked; this time you started both again and now no relief? Iguess I'm wondering was there a period of time in the begining using both Strattera & Prevacid where you saw success? If not, then maybe it is the combo of both meds??? WELCOME to the Community!
1085237 tn?1293760646 My son has been dealing with severe acid reflux since he was two weeks old. At two weeks old he started to scream like no baby i had ever heard before. He was in such pain. He would projectile vomit, he would get strangled by the reflux, I was scared to let him sleep by his self. He would throw fits and at two weeks old when he went into a fit you had to fight to keep hold of him he would arch in a backwards C.
1448936 tn?1363206346 Yes, this can all be due to GERD/acid reflux. Acid reflux can be surprisingly annoying and I hope you find something that works well for you soon.
547002 tn?1219797376 In July i was having some swallowing problems or thought i was and they did an EGD and found nothing but a VERY tiny hiatal hernia. My stomach lining was nice and pink. I had been taking prevacid for two weeks prior to the EGD due to the trouble swallowing NOW i want to stop taking the prevacid and every time i try i get really sick. I get weak, nauseaus and for a day or two i literally go to the bathroom constantly and have loose yellow stools with stomach cramps.
Avatar f tn I have the worst acid reflux. I've had it my whole pregnancy and it *****. Also this after taste after eating ***** too. Did anyone do anything to ease the two?
447553 tn?1205288774 I just wanted to throw in there.. that my daughter also had acid reflux when she was an infant. She also had a problem call...forgive my spelling... Laryngomalaysia. A condition where the flap in the esophagus doesnt allow things to go down "the right tube". She was choking alot, projectile vomiting, rattled breathing ( from liquid in her lungs) If i hadnt taken her to the ER when I did she could have gotten very sick very quickly.
Avatar n tn My daughter was diagnosed with acid reflux at 1 month old using the dye test and an ultrasound. We started cereal in bottles and went from there. Her ped. did not put her on medication following infancy. For years, she would complain about the same symptoms and would miss up to 2 weeks of school per year. Finally a partner ped. said my daughter had not outgrown reflux and needed to be on prevacid and see a ped. Gastroenterologist.
Avatar f tn I am having a problem with taking my Prevacid 4 hrs. after Synthroid. Right now my routine is to take Synthroid when I first get up and 6 AM. an hour later eat something void of fiber (usually egg sub.) The 4 hrs. later I take the Prevacid and have another small meal (cereal usually). The problem is something is causing a bad taste to come back in to my mouth sometime after all this and I am thinking it is because the Prevacid really is not being taken prior to eating.
Avatar f tn he is on keppra and phenobarb, but has also been on prevacid 2x day for the reflux for the last 5 mo. he eats 2nd foods still basically because he has sensory issues. the reflux has defitnately taken its course. my son wont take in the calories that he is supposed to take in. i can try to make him but it normally will make him throw it back up. he only weighs 18 lbs, which is ok .he has never been over 18.5 lbs ever. the ped GI and the ped surgeon want to put a feeding tube in him.
Avatar m tn How do we prevent acid reflux which occur maybe once Or twice a month especially after eating the wroong food .
