Has anyone had success with reglan?

I don’t blame you for wanting to give up on all the meds – you are going through a lot and it is so difficult to know what is the right thing to do! It’s terrible to see them miserable, crying, screaming, vomiting, not gaining weight. And it’s exhausting! I’ve been there too, twice, and it wasn’t easy.

Here is my best advice – keep with the Elecare formula if he has been diagnosed MSPI (as I see from your previous post in HELP). It is the best thing to allow his GI tract to heal. If at all possible, avoid baby foods and cereal until at least 6 months because many MSPI and MFPI babies’ GI systems simply can’t handle the proteins in food. The GI tract is still very immature – food proteins could stimulate antibody production resulting in food allergies. I know the cereal helps keep the formula down and helps him to gain weight. Maybe look into getting Simply Thick – you can order it online or ask your local pharmacy if they carry it. http://www.simplythick.com/ If this will help him keep his formula down, that may help him gain weight without subjecting him to food proteins at this young age. My last bit of advice would be to try to stick it out with an acid-reducer of some sort, whether it be Zantac, Prevacid, Zegerid, etc. If you can reduce the PAIN of the reflux (and prevent acid damage in the esophagus) your baby should be happier, easier to feed, and possibly sleep a bit better.

Good luck – we are here for you!
