delayed empting of the stomache

[Anonymous]

I was wondering if anyone has experience with delayed empting of the stomache. i believe my daughter has this, as theother day she threw up half of her bottle 21/2 hours after eating. she is on alimentum formula so i dont think it should have still been in her stomche. also this morning i held her for an hour after eating…and when i put her down…on a tucker wedge which is at a 30 degree angle i could hear it coming up on her. i have read that erithromyicin (sp?) is sometimes used to help with this. my question is would a regular ped be willing to prescribe this or would i need to see a gi doc? i plan on asking the doc about it at her 2 mo check up. also, i am wondering if i have truly been giving the prevacid on an empty stomache?! day 8 with no results? anyone have experience with this?

it was day 12 for my son. it was THAT obvious!

but, if you think there are emptying issues, you might just be better off w/

Bufferbabies – you can give the PPI (prilosec or prevacid, but I’d say just go for prevacid) at any time- doesn’t matter about an empty stomach.

I would ask about a milk scan I think it’s called- it’s to see about DGE (delayed gastric emptyng)

can you give the prevacid solutabs with the bufferbabies or do you need to switch to another form?

bufferbabies uses capsules

thanks :o) is otc prevacid the saame thing as the script, can i just get the capsules that way rather than getting a whole new script?

[hellbennt]

I would contact the people where you buy bufferbabies, but yes, I do believe the capsules that are OTC can be used w/ bufferbabies.
