we replied here about Prevacid & babies:

as for the Karo syrup (the doctor agreed about this?), it seems as though you’ve got a very ‘old fashined’ doctor?

I would think he would want to figure out the CAUSE for the constipation?
constipation actually is a symptom of mspi-…[Read more]

YES yes, WIC will cover the formula, whatever it is! You’re right, you might need a letter, etc, but your dr will work with you…

ok there are links to (practically) everything from Groupie Intro, lol!

yikes!!! what an ordeal!!
well, I am so glad you at least got some attention- horrible way to get it!
I would FIRE your pediatrician ASAP!!! Fax him/her a good-bye letter. If it would make you feel any better, write a letter to the board of Pediatricians in your state- not sure how to do that but I bet you could google it…

then I…[Read more]

well…you might want to try the prevacid 7.5 3x a day, if this is correct by
http://www.marci-kids.com standards…
I CANNOT advise you to do this! I am not a medical professional, although I play one on the internet

I cannot answer about the night time feedings-you’ll have to try & see what happens- are you giving zantac at 10mgs per kilo?…[Read more]

I can’t tell you to do an endoscopy- but from what I’ve read from others (I’ve been on the board 5 years now), I don’t think I recall anyone ever regretting it- it will show you what’s going on in there & you’ll know for sure if it’s an allergy- if there’s EOS cells present-won’t show an intolerance though?
these are things to ask a PED GI so I…[Read more]

capsules in THIS discussion are to be used w/ a product called bufferbabies/caracream:
https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11191&PID=94236#94236

yes ask your doctor about carafate & please try not to beat yourself up! the best thing you can do for your baby is to be the best advocate you can, and you’ve found the right place for this!

you will need to ask the pharmacist (or one of us!) how far apart to give the prevacid and the carafate

as far as the prevacid goes, please check…[Read more]

time to get a new doctor. yours sounds egotistical and perhaps doesn’t want you to go to another dr and pay someone else your co-pay? ok I’m being cynical, I’ll stop…but yes please DO go to another dr- your doctor should not with-hold a referral!

page 2 of the ‘main’ MSPI page gives an excellent explanation
(got to the MSPI forum & it’s stickied there)

I already calculated it for you on your other post, here:

um, now you have to get your doctor to prescribe prevacid, which is great! see, zegerid is made with prilosec…you actually can use either prilosec or prevacid w/ bufferbabies (see above info & links), but since it seems that SO MANY babies (mine included!) wind up switching from prilosec to prevacid, you might as well go ahead and try for the…[Read more]

zegerid is ok! It’s great! I would email dr philips [email protected]

about the pharmacy mixing up the zegerid, though! zegerid, as far as I know, comes in packets that you mix YOURSELF- the pharmacist doesn’t do it? dr philips helped to develop zegerid and can tell you what you need to know!hellbennt2008-11-23 14:32:07

welcome krystle! you & Madison have been through a lot! but now you’ve surfed on-in to a great place!

I would stop thickening…your baby is getting the extra calories from the neosure, right? so see what happens if you don’t thicken? I only say this bcse she is so little and her digestive system is so sensitive…
you can TELL (don’t ask!…[Read more]

I responded to your other post- but I also said yes, feed that baby!

I also calculated the zantac dose for you (other post) and there is PLENTY of room to INCREASE it…the meds do NOT stop the spit up, they help with the pain.
as for the congestion: yes this is reflux related- can even cause ear infrections- read through here,…[Read more]

I’m not sure, but if you give the prilosec a chance and it doesn’t work as ell as the prevacid, then I *think* the dr can then prescribe prevacid again and the insurance will then accept it? if not, you can always ‘fight’ if you really find the prevacid was better than the prilosec.
