any milk or soy proteins in the cereal? the bread?
is there wheat in the bread? is it wheat free?
if there’s wheat in the cereal or bread, try cutting it out and finding rice & rice products w/o wheat? try this for 2 weeks and have stool tested again?
then maybe cut…[Read more]

ok this site is being wonky for me!

about elecare: not that I don’t think that some babies need formula! but get another opinion bcse there are 3 things this dr told you that don’t sound ‘right’ to me;
1) switching away from PPI
2) reglan
3) telling to give elecare a few days. you’d need to give it 2 or 3 weeks!

I just posted a ;ong response. it disappeared. erg

OK:

this is short & sweet- not angry- just condensed-not bossy-just fast

1) get another dr:
I would never say to go from PPI ‘back’ to H2blocker. Me, I would stick w/ the prevacid

2) try reglan- you can always stop. but i don’t think it’s here nor there. if you see a bad…[Read more]

the short answer is: yes, tums is fine- the quick dissolve ones are great and also look at the ingredients- there are certain flavors that are safe for MSPI babies
also: this is why you can go look around this forum- but…[Read more]

there’s actually no test for reflux- I mean ther is after a long while- there’s a ph probe and there’s an endoscopy- but usually those tests aren’t given until baby is suffering long and hard w/ reflux.

The Upper GI, (also called a barium swallow?) is good to look for structural abnormalities,it is *not* good to verify reflux: it is a…[Read more]

thoughts:
lower the dose a bit & see what happens?
go back to lower dose & add in zantac (or tagament or axid or pepcid) for
break-through acid?

in the meantime, can you feed while he’s sleeping/drowsy?
try taking a warm bath w/ him w/ low lights, etc & see if he’ll eat?
have a nurse-in &…[Read more]

so that’s 5.5kilos

5.5 x 3 = 16.5mgs of prevacid for the day, at conservative dose

I always faxed dr loret de mola-
simply stated what dose was, what dose should be (ie: prevacid dose for 5.5. kilos can be 3mgs per kilo, making it 16.5mgs. I am requesting this dose increase due to the foolowing symptoms:___)

ped GI won’t increase the dose?
how much does baby weigh?

the prevacid will take 2 weeks for you to see it’s full effect-
if it’d dr de mola, FAX him & ask for a med increase…
in the meantime, if you have znatc or pepcid or axid or tagament, give this as well, spaced 4hrs seperate from the prevacid
