Solids making reflux bad again…

[Anonymous]

My daughter Jenna is 6 1/2 months old. She has been doing really well on Prevacid and Neocate. But since we started solids, her reflux has been horrible again. She doesn’t sleep at night (wakes up at least 5 times) and is spitting up a good bit. She is happy during the day, but at night it seems to really bother her. Our ped upped her dosage of Prevacid at night (we give a whole tab now) and she also said to cut out solids and see how she does. The thing is, Jenna loves to eat, probably more than drink bottles. So, I still give her cereal, but she doesn’t like it without some kind of fruit mixed in. I’ve been trying every fruit and they all seem to upset her stomach (gas, crying alot). It’s very frustrating. I’m sure someone else has experienced this. Any info would be great. The only food she seems to tolerate is green beans and peas.

Since it looks like allergies may run in your family, I’d cut out all solids that seem to bother her and wait a little while before trying again. Of course, with the allergy issues that Kaelyn has I’m a little gun shy about them.
