My 2 1/2 year old son was put on Reglan about 4 days ago to help with his slow gastric emptying. Does anyone know how long it takes before you start to see an improvement?
Also, my son is on a small dose of Prevacid Solutabs, just 15 mg in the morning. He does not have any problems with sleeping or with eating if we don’t force him to eat. Unfortunately, he barely eats. If we do try to make him eat, he throws up. On a good day, we might be able to get him to eat one meal, but it’s half the portion size he should be eating at his age. Anyway, we didn’t want to up his dose, but we don’t see a gi doc until January 15th. I was wondering if a dose increase might help with his eating. Anyone experience this?
We’re also suspecting he might have an EE disorder since he has not outgrown his reflux and throws up with food. His main source of nutrition is his elemental formula through his feeding tube.
Thanks,
Karen
