Mylanta causing flare?

[Anonymous]

Sophie has had flares before where she does a lot of wet hiccups and telling me she puked in her mouth, but this time I cant help but wonder if its from the mylanta she has been taking the past 2 days. SHe hasnt had it before.

Like i said, she has had flares like this, so maybe I am just paranoid!

Im thinking its more the augmentin she is taking for her staph infection.

I’m betting it’s more likely to be the antibiotic that’s bothering her. Mylanta generally will cause loose stools if given too often or too much, but I ever read here that anyone’s has seen increased reflux from it.

I saw your other post too, and tomatoes (so ketchup) is often a big problem for babies, not just reflux babies. I used to babysit a little boy who’d be miserable all day if his mom (who was nursing and pumping) ate tomatoes. He didn’t have reflux but he’s spit up a lot on those days and he’d be especially irritable. My babies used to react to tomatoes too, although not as bad as this little boy did.
