OMG, I dont know WHAT to do. We got Catelin on Prevacid and increased her dose to 2 x a day(7.5). Seemed to start to get relief and then suddenly, everythign has gotten SO MUCH WORSE!! Saw doc this morning and he said the reflux isnt causing her this pain and that she has “true colic.” She is unable to sleep ALL day long and was up from 6:30am-1:00 am the next morning. We are switching to Neocate but honestly, Im losing it. I dont know WHAT To do and this GI guys is one of the leading GI guys in the NATION(spoke to my ped, I didnt see him directly). If I give her the prevacid 3x a day, when do I still give the Axid(it doesn seem there are enough hours in the day to space out 4 hours)? And, am I suppose to give the prevacid around meals??? SOMETHING has to give, something!!prevacid solutabs must be given on an empty stomach. There is now (once again, hallelujah!) prevacid in caracream which does NOT have to be given around meals- read through here & look for purple post(s)
: Caracream: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11191&PID=94236#94236also you can TRY giving the axid (have you figured out the dose for 10mgs per kilo?) 2hrs seperate from the prevacid. when jonah was on PPIs our ped GI said to give the zantac 2hrs seperate & it did work for him. I generally tell folks to go for the 5 hours because that’s what the majority of ped GIS say to do…but hey, try 2hrs & see what happens…
it might ‘just’ be the compound (liquid) prevacid. you must TELL your doctor to write out how EXACTLY it needs to be compounded. compounding from lori: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7855&TPN=1
in the meantime, I’d contact http://www.marci-kids.com and ask about caracream. read here, especially the purple post(s) so you know what Caracream IS: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11191&PID=94236#94236I KNOW that I ‘throw’ a LOT at you
! It’s because I HEAR YOUR DESPERATION and I want to HELP YOU.Do you have axid, too? Perhaps I helped you figure out the dose for your baby? I would give this ALSO until you get things straightened out…give 4hrs seperate from the prevacid…hellbennt2008-07-07 14:17:26
you say you’re ‘following’ a leading PHARMACOLOGIST who is at the forefront of RESEARCH addressing PPIs and infants! I’m not mad at you.
I really don’t like your doctors
. I feel so bad for you!give the prevacid 4hrs seperate from the axid (and mylanta) . or try 2 hours. do what you gotta do.ask the pharmacist for a print-out of all the ingredients. if there’s ANYTHING like setevia powder, or any other additional flavouring agents, then it needs to be made PLAIN. you can ask for flavoring on the side, that you give w/ each individual dose to help it go down better. Also in the print-out it, if the dose you give is less than 7mls (it most likely is!), then check to see that the compound is made with 16.8 percent sodium bicarbonateGive the nutrimigen a good full 2 weeks…have you had diaper(s) checked for occult blood?hellbennt2008-07-07 14:39:38
