Does your reflux med cause gassiness in baby

DD is on Ranitidine and Metoclopradmide - not sure if its the meds or what but she started this med on Tuesday. 

Re: Does your reflux med cause gassiness in baby

  • My DS's reflux med caused constipation, which can also cause gas.  He was horribly uncomfortable (even more than the reflux), so we stopped it.

  • Yes.  DD just started Ranitidine on Tuesday and has been gassier than normal since.  I'll take that over the spit up, choking and back arching any time.

  • The Ranitidine caused constipation/gas for DS, and it was awful. We cut his dose in half and things are great. His reflux is even controlled just fine. However, I also pumped like crazy and increased my BM production, which may have helped reduce the problems (now about 1/2 his diet is BM).
