Hi,

I have noticed that many folks on this forum depend on the marci-kids.com site for information on acid reflux and dosing. Are they the experts for infant reflux in this country? I am going to use their information with my doctor (if they are reliable) – so I just wanted to check. Are there any other experts or information?

Does anyone know if marci-kids.com is funded by any drug companies?

Thanks.

marci kids is the university of missouri. they are up do date on the latest research on infant reflux and medication dosing. you will notice many parents of reflux babies are given medications that many times do not improve reflux symptoms. it is not until they try the marci kids.com recommended dosings that they see much improvement in their childrens pain and fussiness.

they are not funded my drug companies.

they advise higher PPI dosing regardless of what medication is being used.

If you also notice on their website that they do studies on infants in regards to reflux. My son has been a part of a few of the studies and has done well with their recommendations.

Marci-kids.com is an organization that does research on acid reflux in children. I don’t know how they receive their funding, but would hope that it’s from the University of Missouri. They advocate for high dosing of PPIs, higher than other sources, and are the highest I’ve ever seen. I’ve read some of the supporting literature, and from what I’ve read, PPIs do seem quite safe, so if a lower dose hasn’t worked and you need to try something else, I might give it a try. For some reason, 30mg prevacid seems to be a “magic number” for a lot of babies. Hailey is taking her prevacid in CaraCream which is made by marci-kids and I’ve been really happy with it. It’s the only thing that’s worked for her. Good luck.
