Has someone else suffered through this? plz help!

ds is taking 7.5mg of Prevacid (solutabs-give 1/2 tab and discard the rest) twice a day. I give it to him via a baby spoon disolved in a little water-wait 30 min then feed. GI I saw also started him on Bethanechol 1.4 mg with his Prevacid (like his sister takes).His stool is just slightly thicker than watery (before bethanechol). GI doc saw one of his diapers and tested it for blood-neg, didn’t note any mucous.

Just had a upper gi this am. After only drinking 15 ml of contrast they saw reflux and were concerned some tried to go in his airway (this was via the radiologist). Also where intestines come out of stomach and are shaped like a “C”, ds intestines did NOT make a complete “C”–malformation dx by radiologist. Waiting for word from the GI, but radiologist is recommending swallow studies and surgery consult for the malformation.

I am pretty sure I am avoiding all dairy, we have been doing that with dd for 2 years.

Thanks for the tip about the Mylanta. I know there has been some that don’t like Bethanechol, but it seems to work for dd and I don’t know of anything to replace it.

Thank you for responding. I would just feel better to know I am not crazy and someone else has been through this too. this is my second time and this mornings test is the first “proof” of the dx – ‘reflux”. You wouldn’t believe how many people even in my own family don’t really believe that is what dd has had for 3 yrs!

Now if we can find out WHY he has reflux, food or stucture?? Wouldn’t that be great!
