http://www.marci-kids.com will help you know if the dose of prevacid is high enough

you should give it in two doses, as the bosy doesn’t ‘carry’ the one dose through for very long- babies have very fast metabolisms, so the medicine gets ‘used’ up quickly-there’s an actual scientific reason for what I just typed, LOL! you can look in the Medicines…[Read more]

instead of arguing on the phone or in person:

FAX FAX FAX the dr
dont wait for a call…
start off w/ a THANK YOU
keep it short & sweet
stick to the facts (no feelings and no rambling emotions)
state current meds, doses, symptoms
make request- flat out- short & sweet
THANK AGAIN
follow up by calling office to say fax was…[Read more]

you can try alimentum or nutrimigen ready to feed formula and give it a good 2 weeks- give every change a good two weeks- if things are better after 3 weeks you could stick w/ the alumentum or nutrimigen or then switch to neocate or elecare- but you really need to give each change a good 2 or 3 weeks…

i know nothing about grinding up anything, sorry- I would imagine the packets are NOT the same as the capsules- but if the packets have little beads, that look like the beads found in a capsule, then maybe they are the same beads, just some are put in capsules and some are put in packets along w/ flavoring powder? so, if you think the beads are…[Read more]

you can give the zantac, too! really. just give 4hrs seperate from the zegerid. you need to space the mylanta 4 hrs also from the zegerid (unless you’ve been told to use it to mix w/ the zegerid & in that case listen to the people who know zegerid more than me!)
you CAN give mylanta AND zantac at the same time, though, not to worry

some mamas when they are desperate find out when the ped GI is on call at the local children’s hospital and just go to the ER- this is no guarantee, but it’s a start…if baby doesn’t ‘perform’ at the hospital by spitting up blood, TELL them to check his stool for occult blood- that’s a start. Then when there is blood do not be bullied to stop…[Read more]

well, the good news is that zegerid is GREAT!
I would email dr philips about the CORRECT way to mix it up & administer it, though. also naomi, ben’s mama, can help
as for giving the 2 meds, do what YOU think is right- to be honest, I learned the HARD way, as I had the same concept of ‘all of these meds in my baby?!!? no way!’ and so I did not…[Read more]

email dr philips!
and let us know what he tells yoU!

butterfly kisses: I would contact http://www.marci-kids.com because I do not think that administering the tablet like that is effective?
something about the enteric coating? I truly do not know but PLEASE find out

please keep us posted!

You’re too funny Beth! thanks for answering! I don’t mean to be the only one answering around here
yes it’s 7mls a day- you can divide it up however seems best
2 or 3 dosees- you’ll have to experiment-
you might want the ‘highest’ dose at night, since sleeping seems to be the problem? or before nap, too- so maybe 2 doses? 3mls an hour before…[Read more]

Welcome!
I’m not sure but I *think* at this point I’d want an endoscopy? to see what is going on in there? I would think that in addition to letting you know if the esophogus is red and irritated (from untreated acid reflux), it would let you know if there are any structural issues…

the zantac will not hurt, so try it out. also: try…[Read more]

it should happen faster

you night have a few days but not the initial 2 weeks wait- usually the switch is from prilosec to prevacid…but a switch might be necessary? perhaps ‘all’ you need is an increased prevacid dose…have you checked

I would tell her to go to the ER at the children’s hospital…if there is none, then I would research the BEST ped GI and go to her/him as soon as possible…

I too only have a sec-
jonah was on apnea monitor-
what helped Sandifer’s was MEDS and not just MEDS but
PROPER MEDS, PROPER DOSING, and PROPER FORM of MEDS

look at the ingredients of what you’ve found- maybe the max cherry doesn’t have any aluminum? or google mylanta and call their customer service?

cool! start a new thread when you do…thanks
