Reflux meds please come in

I've been off the bump for awhile and just noticed this board. Hopefully our story can help some of you out. 

My son was put on Zantac at 6 weeks and about a week later he developed green mucusy poop (which later progressed to bloody mucusy green poop). and eczema. and extreme fussiness. He was MISERABLE. I was miserable. It was declared a milk allergy since he was breastfed. So I cut out milk, no change. So then I cut out soy, no change. And then egg, and wheat, all nuts, seafood, peanuts, beef. I was only eating chicken, turkey, rice and veggies for 5 fcuking months. We saw multiple pedi GI docs, did bloodwork, did the RAST (.08 on peanut and seafood). One night while I was researching studies I came across one that talked about how stomach acid is needed for protein digestion. I pulled my son off Zantac and within a week all his symptoms cleared. So what I thought was allergies the whole time was actually a side effect of the reflux meds. Something to consider. Here is a post I wrote explaining the concept in depth and a link to the study: https://www.ourgrowinggarden.com/2011/02/total-elmination-diet-is-ovah.html

    I read this recently too & have wondered if that's why Ari has progressively developed more & more allergies. We tried to wean him off his Prevacid for the 3rd time last month & it didn't go well. I think I'm going to try again next month & go more slowly. He's getting allergy tested again next month too.

    GL. Like I said, all of our probs disappeared after I pulled him off Zantac. I really hope that this could be some of y'alls problem!
