I’m so sorry your baby has been suffering so much!
I really don’t know a lot about DGE. All I know is that there’s a test for it, but Jessica seems to know more about it? I don’t really know the answer, but from her posts it seems like her opinion is that the test for DGE isn’t all that reliable? I truly don’t know. I THOUGHT the test was…[Read more] -

hellbennt replied to the topic zantac and prevacid in one day? in the forum Medicines 16 years, 2 months ago
same. I liked having meds at night to help w/ sleeping. if you give dose in morning there’s nothing ‘left’ by afternoon, as babies speed through their medications…
ETA (edited to add): yes jonah was on both meds at once for quite some time

hellbennt replied to the topic What to do next… in the forum HELP!!! 16 years, 2 months ago
zantac is in MLs as opposed to mgs bcse it’s a liquid. how much does baby weigh? I can help calculate for you.
PPIs are more in MGs (unless it’s a liquid). THESE take 14 days to see their affect.
Zantac’s effects should be seen after a day or two if not immediately…

if you’re not comfortable w/ the reglan then stop. it is oftentimes prescribed ‘just because.’ I stopped it after reading about it & realizing that my lo most likely did not need it as I did not think he had DGE (Delayed Gastric Emptying).
