Acid Reflux...any other experiences with this?

heatbryant

My little guy was born just shy of 35 weeks & spent 16 days in the NICU learning to eat and working through Brady's.  He came home on Prevacid for reflux and is still experiencing pain when eating & occasional "fits" after eating ( limbs get stiff, gets red, eyes rolll). Anyone else experienced this with reflux? Just looking for some reassurance.

Hi my LO seems tO be also having reflux. He was born at 31 wks & today is day 27 in the NICU. They think that reflux may be the cause of his "D"s (so bad that they drop into the 30s, he turns dusky blue & the nurses have to stim him with the oxygen bag) so they have his bed on a slight incline & sit him up often to burp during bottle attempts. It seems to be helping. Not sure if this experience helps, but good luck to you!

Could the prevacid not be working for him or need a dose adjustment?  DS tried both prevacid and zantac and only had relief when we gave a combination of the two.  They both act differently - one reduces and the other neutralizes and for DS he was so bad (screaming, vomitting and choking) that his GI decided to try both and it was a miracle worker for us.  GL!

Thanks so much for the responses and suggestions. Going in for his two month in about a week and will ask about the Zantac as well. Hoping to get on a stronger dose either way. Appreciate your sharing...
