Infant GERD study

Having problems getting your child to eat or keep food down? Consider having your child evaluated for our Infant GERD study at DCT’s Dallas Medical City location.

· Irritability when feeding:

This irritability includes whining, crying, screaming, and fussiness, which can last for varied amounts of time. This irritability can stem from the burning sensation and pain in the esophagus when formula and stomach acid is refluxed into the esophagus.

· Refusing food or eating only small amounts:

Infants may refuse to eat if pain occurs when they swallow. This pain can be caused by the irritation in the esophagus when formula and stomach contents are refluxed back up into the esophagus.

· Arching the back while feeding:

When babies are experiencing abdominal pain or discomfort, they will often arch their backs or draw up their legs
