Hi Ladies,

My son Darcy has been on losec solutabs for 5 weeks, we are still having about 5 bad days for every half decent day. He was on generic first, and I switched him to the losec brand after hearing that some kids react to the generic. But going through the posts here, can they still react to the solutabs anyway? We have just introduced zantac, with not much luck. I have noticed the last couple of days, after his dose, he does a very runny greenish stool. Today, he has done two mucousy, stringy green stools. He has been very stuffy this week. Can they react to zantac, or is it the solutabs? My head is spinning, I would like to find something to help him.He has also been on neocate for about 7 weeks.

Ok , so I took him off the solutabs, and got the omeprazole capsules, have been giving them to him with a 1/2 spoon of pears. Now I think the pears are upsetting him, after his dose this morning he did three yucky poos, and was quite unsettled. If pears are upsetting him, I don’t want to try apples, what else can I use?

Is he on lansoprazole (prevacid) or omeprazole (losec)? Here in Canada, the dissolvable losec tablet is non-flavoured, no lactose or milk products in it. They don’t have that tablet in the US. On this board, when people are talking about them reacting to the solutabs, they’re talking about the prevacid (lasoprazole) solutab. It is flavoured like strawberry, and in the US, has traces of lactose.

As per marci-kids, the PPI needs to be given in something more acidic than pears, like apples. That’s what they told me when I was doing it for Hailey. If it’s not acidic enough, it won’t work.

Oh, I see now that he’s only 3 months old. I wouldn’t even want to start introducing solids at this point. Can you try prevacid? What about buffer babies? My guess is that his dose isn’t high enough.
