where do you live? I would check out the ‘finding a ped GI’ posts and also I would contact marci-kids directly to see if they are affiliated w/ anyone near you.
hang in there!
i also would demand some carafate in the meantime, this will help soothe irritated esophogus- it’s a SHORT TERM solution, but it sounds like it’s in order
as for everything: FAX THE DOCTOR and at this point do not ASK, but TELL.
do you have any zantac? if not, get a prescription for this, too! we can help you figure out the PROPER dose and you can give this along w/ the prevacid, just making sure to space it 4hrs seperate. we’ll also help you space the prevacid, carafate, zantac, etc.
as for the prevacid: FORGET the liquid. just TELL that you want the solutabs. these need to be given on an empty stomach, followed by a ‘meal’ 30 minutes later. again, we can help you w/ the timing.
FAX FAX FAX and then call to say fax was sent. then CALL again to discuss WHEN you can get the meds from pharmacy, etc. Provide pharmacy info in fax, too, etc.
