Me again! My friend is in the middle of dealing with this and I know for me zegerid worked best, but I also know it’s very expensive. So, I am coming to you amazing moms to see what worked for your little bubs. Hope I’m allowed to say bubs even though I’m American. It’s always so cute when Evergreenie says it.

Prevacid packets for Dylan,

prilosec suspension for Carter (compounded at a compounding pharmacy correctly two weeks at a time and overnighted to us in a refridgerated container)

It did allow me to vote twice….

Prevacid solutabs worked for us but then again, those were the only PPIs we tried.

Zegerid works great for us. Colton is almost 3 and still on it but it works great and is easy to use.

Zegerid worked better for us. Prevacid solutab gave Kendra stomach ache and eczema flare up.

Zegerid for us, but I never tried any of the other options. We tried zantac and a compounded omeprazole (which did NOTHING). So my vote is zegerid all the way! (20mg packets)

caracream!!!

prilosec worked for a bit then Jonah maxed out on the dose, so he

switched to prevacid and that worked well

so: I’d have to say compounded prevacid, but compounded CORRECTLY, whcih in theory should be possible…

Well, compounded Prevacid for my daughter, but that was back when I didn’t know any better. We tried the solutabs with Ben and I about went out of my mind trying to time those around a breastfeeding baby. So, all that to say that ZEGERID was the answer for us for sure!!!

Protonix was the best but finding someone to compound it w/out attitude was horrible

The prevacid packets worked for us but we have far fewer options for our BUBS in Aus (it is just such the cutest thing to call your little one!) I was watching a story on compounding pharmacy’s today and we have some in Aus so next time, if there is a next time I might look into that (armed with the Marci kids instructions of course)

Don’t want to sound ignorant but Zegerit doesn’t need to be scheduled around feeding? For some reason I thought all PPIs need to be 30 minutes before eating

Owen was one of the few kids who really did well with compounded Prevacid. I always read on here that it wasn’t supposed to work but it definitely did for him!

We love solutabs in this house, the meal timing has gotten so much easier.
