Another Prevacid Question…

[Anonymous]

My son is 14 months old, and he has been on prevacid since he was 2 months old. I was reading that Prevacid is really only for short term use. Has anyone else heard of this?

Also, we just tried increasing his dose to 15 mg per day (second time trying this… first time was when he was 8 months old), and he has had terrible, stinky gas for the last few days, and he is REALLY fussy. I’m not even noticing a huge improvement in the reflux going from the 3/4 of a tab to the full tab. Has anyone else experienced this?

I really don’t want to continue giving him the whole tablet if it is going to make him be in pain, and cause bad gas…. I am concerned about the fact that his reflux is out of hand though…. I am going to call the GI specialist next week and see what they want to do, but just thought I would ask for advice here first while we are waiting… Thanks!!
