Inactiveour new ped. GI says to wait 30 minutes (after giving PPI) before feeding even when using Buffer Babies.. finn still has acidic spit-ups even on the Marci dosing–so something still isn’t cutting the acid.
has anyone else been advised to do this?November 2, 2008 at 5:51 pm #58262InactiveDr Phillips had told me I could give it with food (at the same time) but maybe your ds needs the 30 min? We have Simply thick – thickened feeds so we don’t see as much spit-up as we used to.. even the silent episodes have decreased.

Keymasterbuffer babies makes it so you do NOT have to wait. it can be given at any time. I know you’re doing you NAET treatments, but maybe you still need to cut something out of your diet?
November 2, 2008 at 9:18 pm #58277Inactivei’m at the point in the diet when i can tell when anything affects him– diapers are regulated, no mucous, no gas, etc unless i eat an offender. at this point i’m beginning to think that it’s the physiological reflux that wakes him. by that i mean…he’s got the loose sphincter and when he refluxes it wakes him. he’s not necessarily in pain, he just wakes up because of the discomfort. Does that make sense?
although…of course there’s always the chance that there is still something i’m not realizing with the diet… that’s my main focus, so i’m looking at it constantly! 🙂
i was just wondering why my dr. said to still wait with BB…he probably just doesn’t know what he’s talking about…
then there’s the chance that finn is reacting to the BB! maybe the sodium bicarbonate???November 3, 2008 at 9:07 am #58298InactiveSorry if I repeat anything that may have been suggested to you…BUT…Have you or your Ped. considered DGE(delayed gastric emptying)? My DD is being treated for DGE and at first I didn’t think she had it, but I noticed a MAJOR difference in her sleep and her temperment about a week after starting the erythromycin. It’s something to take into consideration. With any PPI if it cuts out too much acid there is the possibility of DGE happening b/c there isn’t enough acid to break down the foods. Making the food stay longer in his stomach and when he refluxes there is food leftover to reflux. Averi also has had acidic spitups on the marcikids dosing, but some acid is necessary. hmmm?
Yes, he could be reacting to the sodium bicarbonate. My DD couldn’t tolerate it in mylicon drops. So, it’s possible.November 3, 2008 at 11:58 am #58303Inactiveamber–that’s really interesting, so … the DGE wouldn’t have shown up on the f upper GI b/c finn wasn’t on a PPI at that point? did you diagnose it with an upper GI, or just try the erythromycin and then see improvement?
and of course, you’re right–stomach acid is a good thing! I don’t know why i didn’t think to ask that when the dr. said he shouldn’t still be having acidic spit-ups! lol.November 3, 2008 at 5:14 pm #58320InactiveNo, I don’t believe it would show up whether or not a PPI was involved. The only tests that test for DGE are Gastric Emptying Scan(GES) or Antro-Duodinal Manometry test. I’ve been told that the ADM test is most reliable. No, we didn’t have any tests for the DGE, the GI wanted to try the med and if it worked, then great. The GIs normally don’t want to test for it. If they suspect it then they try meds to see if there are any improvements. The meds normally prescribed are reglan and e-mycin. Here’s a link to a bunch of info in regards to DGE. https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11830&KW=Delayed+gastric+emptying&PN=1
