My son is almost 10 months and we seemed to have everything under control. He is on Elecare and the prevacid was working. I forgot a dose here or there and htere were no major side effects. I was feeling positive even though he has not really taken to solid foods- will only eat crunch carbs– will cry if a veggie or fruit goes near him.

The GI specialist asked us to try to wean from the prevacid and disaster has hit. Yesterday was day 4, he was up coughing and crying last night– rubbing his nose. I know the silent reflux is back.

So I am wondering — could the food aversion (which has been going on since 6 months) and the reflux be connected?

If we can’t wean off prevacid, does this mean that we will need more tests to rule out a larger problem?

I am just feeling a bit unsure and scared that there is somthing larger wrong with my sweet baby boy.

thank you

yes, food aversion most likely stems from it hurting to eat…

I would check out MAXIMUM dose and give it for a good two weeks and see if things improve?

also google: kennedy krieger feeding therapy

and see if there’s a clinic near you…

my son was on meds until about 12 months- well, we started to get him off the meds then….he still had flares and took meds on an ‘as needed’ basis…’
