My daughter was diagnosed with reflux when she was 2 weeks old. She just turned one and all the encouragment that she would outgrow it by the time she was 7-9 months old was not so true. We fight it everyday. I am completely lost on what to feed her at this stage. Seems like everything I try causes acid. She does really well with the pasta pick ups but other than that I haven’t found anything that she likes or that doesn’t cause her to be up all night puking. PLEASE HELP!

Does your dd have food allergies/intolerances? Perhaps some you aren’t aware of? My ds’s reflux is much much worse when he eats foods he’s intolerant/allergic to…

Also, is she on any reflux meds? If so, what kind & what dose – that can maybe help us help you too!

Hang in there 🙂

She isn’t currently on any prescription meds. She gets mylanta as needed which has been about every night lately. She isn’t allergic to anything that we know of. We usually stay away from fruits just because of the acid. She liked bananas for a couple days then decided she didn’t.

The reason I asked about the intolerances/allergies thing is b/c my ds DEFINITELY avoids foods his little body can’t tolerate (even @ such a young age… he even did it around 8 mths old). It took me a while to realize it but usually if we’re trialing a new food he starts out liking it… then starts refusing it about a day before his body starts showing signs he’s allergic/intolerant (ie: body rash, increased reflux, intestinal pain, stool consistency changes, etc).

What does her stool look like? Any mucous?!

Also, you might want to consider putting her on something stronger med-wise (like starting w/ an H2 blocker & maybe moving to a PPI if needed). You will probably find that she’s able & willing to eat a wider variety of foods if the acid/reflux is better controlled with a med.
