Hi everyone… so yes, we’re still dealing w/ reflux w/ Evan unfortunately. We were going to try weaning him off meds but don’t think that’s going to happen for a while…
Anyway, he’s on a very restricted diet (intolerant/allergic to 10 things). His stool is ‘normal’ (for him) most times… he’s no longer malabsorbing foods.
He’s on 30mg Prevacid a day… 15mg solutabs 2x/day. He gets his 1st dose in the morning when he wakes, & then the 2nd dose when he wakes from his nap (anytime b/w 3:30-5 pm). The timing doesn’t really work out to give the 2nd dose any later (with the empty stomach, etc).
Anyway, he’s been sleeping thru the night consistently since about 10-11 mths old (he’s 20mths old now). BUT lately (probably past 3-4 mths) he’s been waking up anytime b/w 3:30-5 am & staying awake for 1-2hrs. He doesn’t cry out or need myself or Brian to go in there… but he’s rolling around awake in his crib (sometimes making some moaning, but not usually).
I didn’t really think much about it but it just occured to me that he could be in reflux/acid/indigestion pain… just enough to keep him awake, but not enough to cry out in pain – poor guy! His post-nap Prevacid dose is probably ‘run out’ by then… so is it possible for him to feel the burn/pain then – eventhough he wouldn’t have eaten/drank anything since bedtime (7:30/8 pm). I will say he’s up more often (I think) when we’ve had something for dinner that he LOVES & eats more of (unfortunately, usually somewhat spicy…ie: chili, tacos, sausage jambalaya, etc).
What do you think?! Sound like what’s going on? Any other ideas? Any suggestions on what to do? His marci-kids Prevacid solutabs range is 28-40 so he’s in the range w/ his 30mg. I feel so bad that I JUST figured out this might be the issue.
