Good luck with the solutabs. Landen did excellent on them until he outgrew the dose and I had a hard time getting 30mg (we are still on 15mg). I also think that the lactose or aspartame bothers his tummy (he gets cramping with them). We are changing to 20mg Zegerid soon, but again, if my new GI doc wouldn’t have done zegerid I would stay on the solutabs b/c the benefits have outweighed the other stuff for us.
Also, I was able to find Caracream through FlavoRx at my pharmacy. That would be an option for us too IF my GI would be willing to call in 30mg capsules for us, which so far he has only agreed to Zegerid, which is a victory for us since many in our neck of the woods doesn’t know what it is!
Good luck Erica! I hope Owen is feeling better soon on the solutabs.
P.S. I found the BEST way to administer it is to put it on a baby spoon with just a couple/few drops of water from a little syringe to moisten it up and get it mushy (so he doesn’t choke) and get the entire spoon into his mouth (I hold Landen’s hands down with the other hand since he has Sandifer’s and is wild all of the time) and dump it all into his mouth and this works wonderfully. It gets the ENTIRE dose into his mouth like a charm. Landen also never takes a full feeding after.
Sorry for the long-winded post. I just know the frustration of working and worrying about the timing issues.
the 30 minute rule is linked to from here, which should also help? How long before/after eating to administer: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2789
