I have cried one too many tears b/c of GERD. I have stressed out my husband and my entire family b/c of GERD.
Since my son was born in April 2009 I have dealt w/ GERD. Diagnosed around 6 months after his weight gain slowed. Has projectile vomitted since birth. Extremely picky eater due to textures and gagging, and then vomiting. Have been to specialists. I even had to sleep feed him his bottles. He was never a good sleeper and still does not sleep through the night. Actually, he never has. EVER.
I write now after dealing w/ this for over 14 months b/c I am tired of it. Tired of cleaning up throw up. Tired of holding my breath everytime he eats to see if he’s going to throw it up. I crossed my fingers and hoped that he would magically heal once he turned one – and he didn’t.
I need some encouraging stories to help me see the light at the end of this GERD tunnel – when will he outgrow the symptoms (maybe not GERD itself but at least sleep better and stop vomiting?). Please share your stories with me.
