Zantac isn't working..?

Eefrederick

Hey ladies!  I'm sort of new here.  Katie Beth has been on Zantac for about two weeks, and I only see a little improvement.  She still gags during feedings, and sounds like she's constantly trying to clear her throat.  I've cut out most obvious dairy, but not all.  Is dairy-free the next step, or should I get her Ped to change something?

Most of us had MUCH better success with Prevacid. Same idea as Zantac- it takes up to 2 weeks to see the full effects, but you should see some improvement before then too. GL!

Both of my girls are on Zantac.  The BIGGEST improvement by far...was when our Pedi switched us to soy.  The girls went from Neosure...then tried regular formula-- but the Pedi switched them to soy,.....and once I put the girls on Isomil Soy.... they are soooooo happy.

Less gas, no more projectile vomiting, no more spit ups after feeds, less fussing/crying.  They enjoy feeding time now.  And even sleep better.  GL!

Both my twins had reflux.  DS was the spit up/vomit king, but rarely cried.  DD would burp, scream/cry, and not want to drink.  They were on both zantac AND prevacid after zantac alone was not enough.  We had to go to a GI specialist since our reg dr wasn't comfortable prescribing the amount of meds they needed.  We also used Nutramigen.  Hope you both get some relief soon!
