InactiveWell, at least now I know it is the zegerid, since Landen is 100% healthy. We just had his well baby this past Thursday and the rsv is gone and he has not been in daycare. He is indeed 100% well.
He took 36mg zegerid for 2 days and in those 2 days my silent refluxer began puking entire feeds, screaming with gas pain, no longer slept, etc etc etc. I thought the 40mg packets would help (we tried 20mg the first time) but no, doesn’t look like sodium is a thing his stomach can handle.I feared we may be stuck with it for the month, but I found a few samples of the Nexium I still had and boy, was he happy to see the syringe of lemony suspension this morning
. He’s napping now. I guess I’ll have to bum samples off of GI or something to get us through the month.Oh well, now I can say I know he wasn’t sick with a virus the first trial, he was sick with sodium overload
. Poor kid. I know it works wonders for many many babies, just not mine.

InactiveOh no! Sorry to hear that. I’m glad he’s better with the nexium

InactiveGosh, I’m really sorry to hear that it didn’t work out either. Maybe you could try upping his nexium dose. Good luck!

InactiveSorry to hear this, Jill. Maybe you could try emailing Dr. Phillips to see if he has any suggestions for you.

InactiveCan anyone tell me how long it took the zegerid to work and was it gradual? We have been on it 12 days and I do not see much of an improvement yet. I am so ready for her to feel better. And to top it all off, I go back to work in 13 days and I am keeping her in my office with me. I don’t know if I can handle a crying baby, get work done, and not bother everyone around me! Help.

InactiveCONGRATS!
NEXIUM TURNED MY LITTLE GIRL INTO A DIFFERENT BABY, SHE IS HAPPY, SMILING AND COOING LIKE CRAZY!October 2, 2007 at 4:45 pm #43647Anonymous
InactiveEllene,
is your little one on the rigth dose according to marci-kids website?You can also use a combo. Kendra did better on Prevacid solutab and zantac. She couldn’t tolrate a higher dose of prevacid, but a combination worked well. We switched from prevacid b/c it seems to give her tummy and poo trouble. It has lactose and aspartame in it.LeoJill, i am sorry Zegerid didn’t work for your little one. At least you know Nexium helps. i would stick with it for sure

InactiveYou know Leo, I’ve kind’ve noticed the same thing with Landen. he seems to do best with a combo of Nexium (10mg split twice daily) and Pepcid complete before bed.
Pepcid complete makes him sleeeeeep too!!! -
