I need some help my son is in lots of pain

[Anonymous]

I have a 2 year old daughter who has reflux and has had it since she was 3 weeks old, so you would think that I would know all there is to know about newborns and babies with it. That isn’t the case. My son who is 5 months old is totally different then my daughter. Not only does he have reflux but he also suffers from really bad gas pain and spits up all of the time. He got switched to Neocate formula because with all the other formula there was blood in his stool, he is also on previcid 2.5ml 1 time a day and he is 16lbs. They recently scoped him and found that he does have some food allergies so I haven’t even started him on oatmeal yet. Can anyone give me some advice. I don’t know what to do anymore but to sit there and cry with my son.

you’ve found the right place!

now you’ve got to go to http://www.marci-kids.com and find the PROPER dose

of PPI for him!

his reflux sounds severe, and you’ll have to push for proper medication to help heal his poor esophogus and to make him feel better…

if you go to the MEDICINE FORUM you’ll see a post called ‘Prevacid 101’ or if you don’t just click on the top, ‘stickied’ posts….

welcome!

if he is showing food allergies, i wouldn’t start him on any thing for now—i’d keep him neocate only for awhile.
