Do you think IR PPI work better than DR ?

Personally…I think whatever you give the right timing and the right dose is most important.

All our babies are on a variety of types and combinations and I think we have all had to experiement a little to get it right (eg Alana started on Losec (prilosec) and ended up on Zoton (prevacid) and started of at 10mg and ended up on 30mg). Some seem to do well on one PPI and not another.

If you are having trouble with timing the solutabs then a switch would sound like a good option (we don’t have it here in Aus and I definately would have switched if we did…just to make life a little bit easier)!

Goodluck, whatever you decide.

I agree with Therese that it depends on the baby. I think that they both can work equally well as long as you can time the meals properly. Marci-kids thinks that immediate release works better, as it has the added advantage of neutralizing any acid that’s in the stomach immediately. They’ve also told me that if the stomach doesn’t empty properly (like in cases of DGE) then the delayed release won’t work as well as there will always be some food lingering in there that can interfere with the way the DR PPI works.

We had much better success with prevacid then losec for some reason, and due to Hailey’s feeding aversion, it seems that IR is the only way for us. I’ve recently tried to solutabs again, but still can’t get this kid to eat a meal after.
