ahh ok (lol I knew the acid did SOMETHING good in there) I wonder if that might be part of the reason a lot of these little guys have tummy issues (upset wise). It would be great if they made a med that let everything be as it is in their tummies but got rid of reflux anyway!!! (sorry sorry, I went into dreamland for a min-lol)

Interesting info- http://www.ppiknow.com also has a lot of good info about the pharmacology of PPIs. A while back I was reading it and I recall reading that even in their resting state, some of the parietal cells are in an “on” state and produce acid, though in very very small amounts. Do you think this has anything to do with breakthrough acid?

hmm now that’s an interesting ? Lori, sounds like you might be on to something, maybe it is? I just went to the site and it sounds like that could be the issue , although honestly it was a bit medically intense for me-lol I need the “ppiknow for dummies” version. Great site though super in depth I really just skimmed it a bit, but bookmarked it b/c I want to go back later!! TY!

LOL Jill! I’m a bit of a science nerd so I like the depth of it, but also have to admit I don’t understand all of it either.

hey christine and jill,

about the bacteria growth and some of the importance of the acid…

i give my baby the baby acidophilus now, because of that reason.. its supposed to help the digest and put back the good bacteria in the body (or something like that)… just putting it out there

yep, I used to do jarrodopholous(sp?) with Aidan but stopped b/c he was getting tummy cramps (and um because I accidently left the bottle in a hotel fridge on vacation), I think I’ll start again though when I wean him from formula to whole milk, and when he’s off his meds! He was very little when I gave them to him the first time, maybe 2 months? He eats a LOT of yogurt right now, which is alright, but not as good as the probiotics, I think I’ll start them up with my older son 2, his digestive tract must suck (always in the bathroom if you know what I mean!).
