HELLO EVERYONE I havent had the chance to use this part of the site yet but i am so very very happy that i had to tell the world. eden had her endoscopy on tuesday and all went well except for a few tears from me….
and the doc called me today with the results……..
no allergies to anything that they tested for so he is going to change her to a different drug (LANSOPRAZOLE) which i think is called “Prevacid” in the US. she had been previously treated with (OMEPRAZOLE) which didnt seem to be doing much for her.
This drug (omeprazole) is only available in australia in the form of enteric coated tablets which i would have to break in half and dissolve in water (it tastes terrible) so ofcourse she spits most of it out and therefore it was having no effect.
The new drug LANSOPRAZOLE called “ZOTON” in australia is now available in granule sachets to be made into a suspension (hopefully flavored) so i am so happy with the way the doc has decided to treat her. I was hoping that this was the way they would proceed as i had read so many good comments
about prevacid on this site so i decided to investigate on the net and after a while i finally came up with the drug and what it was called in australia and what forms it came in etc. 
i dont think they usually use lansoprazole for treatment in children in australia, dont ask me why as all you mamas seem to be having so much success with it. i guess we are just a bit primitive down under….
anyway will let you know how eden progresses from here on in so until then i hope everyone is well and had a great easter with all the bubbies
thanks for sharing my happiness with me….
that’s great! you can also get caracream or chocobase since you’re out of the usa- we LOVEd caracream here- look for prevacid 101 link from my welcome/intro to learn more about it
