Severe Gas Pain

I am so very glad that I found this site. I felt so alone when dealing with my son’s reflux problems. I feel like I keep going round and round with is doc.

Here is the scoop. My son is 10 weeks old and has been showing signs of reflux since he was a couple of weeks old. About three weeks ago I took him to his ped because he was misrable. She diagnosed him with GERD and we put him on Zantac and I started to take him to the chiro. He never got 100% better but I would say he was feeling a little better. About two weeks into the Zantac he got worse. At his 2 month I was told to try Prevacid. He has been on Prevacid 7.5mg once a day and two days ago I got his dose to 7.5mg 2x a day.

The problem, he is still having severe gas problems. His stomach will get very hard and he has tons of trouble passing gas. He wakes up screaming and crying. My poor baby. Any suggestions of what I can do would be greatly appreciated.

I would not say that his other symptoms have disappeared either. He still gags and choke, spits up (although this has nevered botherd him), hiccups like they are going out of style, fussy while eating sometimes (EBF), and the severe gas pains.

The doc told me to give the 2x dose through the weekend. But if it is not working now will a couple of days make a difference???

Thanks a ton for any responses.

HELP, HELP, HELP!!
