I have been trying to figure out what has caused this flare up with Adriana’s reflux. She had been doing sooo well. Now that I think about it, she started to get worse about a week after I started her on solids other than cereal. So could starting solids cause her a reflux flare. I have been watching for all other signs of allergies or intolerances to foods while I introduce them and have not noticed any. Could her reflux worsening be a sign of intolerance. The only food I can correlate with her flare up is banana’s, it started a few days after I started banana’s.

Any thoughts?

thoughts: she’s young- you could hold off a bit & try again later

stop bananas & see what happens

I’m in the same boat as you. Gabby is seven months and we had started cereal at 4 and veggies at 5, fruits at 6 months. Well, she’s been doing terrible since six months so I’m thinking fruits are our culprit. I decided I’m going to re-trial all her foods, starting today. Last time I trialed foods for three days. I’m going to give it a week now, just to be safe.

How is Adrianna’s reflux flaring? We have at least 5 – 8 night wakings with arching and screaming. She also groans when I give her solids. We upped the medicine and bottles are going better, but not solids. I’d be interested to know if her symptoms were similar.

I feel for you. Gabby and I are both so overtired and my patience is wearing very thin. Laura had some good suggestions. I’m tempted to go back to straight cereal but my kiddo won’t eat it anymore without a lil flavoring from veggies or fruits. Hang in there.

My husband has reflux, and most of the time can not tollerate bananas, they kick his reflux up, so I’d say to avoid those for a while. Our Pediatrician & GI Specialist both said to hold off on fruits for a little while with my little one, as fruits can be more allergenic, and I’m sure any acid in them can kick up the reflux too.

Good luck! We’re starting sweet potatoes today, hopefully it will be uneventful!
