Not sure if you'll see this since you're not able to get on often. But Declan has pretty bad acid reflux too. He was on Axid which did nothing for him and now he's on Previcid which helps a lot! Plus he's now getting Similac Sensitive R.S. which has the rice starch in it and helps keep him from spitting up and being miserable all the time.

I hope you're able to find some relief soon because it's not fun!

Re: **Blairsgirl**

  • I'm so sorry Declan has it.  It really is awful!!!! They're both taking Pepcid right now.  I think they may switch Sofia to Zantac.  My understanding is that these are HB Blockers so that means they can be taken 2-3x a day.  Right now they are taking it twice a day.  It seems to be (and I am probably going to be jinxing myself) working for Ava.  Sofia has the projectile vomit and discomfort when she eats and burps and no matter how you hold her too.  I have had her sleeping in her bouncy seat for about a week now.  To keep her inclined.  Also, they are both on the Similac Alimentum formula.  It is already processed for them so easier to digest.  It's a fortune, but thankfully the insurance co pays for it.  I had 1/2 tsp of rice cereal to two bottles a day to get a little more in their tummies and prevent the acid from building up.

  • Axid is just like the Zantac but the Prevacid is a proton pump inhibitor which helps prevent the acid from building up. We also have Declan sleeping on a wedge in his crib which really helps! http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2401848

    I'm sorry Sofia has it so bad :( Declan would wake up choking on the acid coming up and is constantly coughing. He was always crying nonstop when we'd feed him or try to burp him. I just feel so bad because you're not able to relieve their pain.

    Keep us updated how Sofia does at the GI and cardiologist.
