Reglan

[Anonymous]

Our daughter is 9 weeks old as of this writing 101111. Almost immediately after her birth, she would periodically act as though she was unable to breathe.. Then the reflux.. Projectile spit-up out the mouth and nose.. And it would burn from the acid.. Se’s a typically happy baby.. Smiles.. Coos.. But when this all occurs, there is much screaming and crying, esp. at late evening… her ped. Put her on ranitidine 2x/day… Gas mess/drops.. But she has still been gaining normal weight.. Fnally.. Last week we had upper G.I… During radiology you could see barium go from stomach back up to back of throat and nose.. Ped. puts her on proposed 2x/day… Reglan .4 ml X 4x/day… We read potential side effects on this stuff (reglan) and freaked.. Had script for 2 days b4 finally giving in and gave her to get some relief and peace about strangulation on spitup.. She’s irritable the past 3 days since we started … Can’t rest.. slight personality change… We’re worried… Any help / experience / wisdom appreciated.

stop the reglan.

get a test for DGE = Delayed Gastric Emptying

Reglan is for DGE

once you know for sure there is DGE (I believe a name for the test is ‘milk scan’)

then TELL your dr you want to try erythryomyacin (sp?)

or bethenacol (sp?)

RESEARCH all you can.

Do NOT ‘just’ take my word!

go to upper right-hand corner of page, click search & search ALl Forums and go BACK 6 months or even a year to learn from those who don’t come to the board anymore

YOU are your baby’s best Advocate!

You can do this!

I have a LOT MORE to say and most of it’s here, in a link called ‘groupie intro.‘
it’s looong but TRULY will help you- read through it, refer back to it, scroll through it/skim through it. You’ll find yourself coming back to it!
