RE: Acid reflux and ?

[Guest guest]

Yes, my daughter's reflux was AWFUL as a baby. She was on zantac until she was 3

or 4.  She has been on cimetidine for the past 1 and half years. She only had 3

episodes the first year. And, has been fever free for 7 months. I think some of

the kids with ..there inflammation begins in the gut...and when their gut

gets inflamed, it then goes to their throat, just my thought. We are just so

happy... She is much better.

She started fevering at age 2 and is now 9...it has been a rough couple of

years. But, I think we are outgrowing it or her stomach is mcuh better and

therefore, we no longer have episodes. We see the doctor, again, soon.

Good Luck.

Yes Emma also had pretty bad reflux. I seem to remember that lots of

babies did, there was a question like this going round on this board about 18

months ago. It's hard to track though because generally only the people with

reflux babies respond so it seems as though everybody who has had reflux

as a baby. So I wouldn't read too much into it.

Take care

To Inga's point --- I never really respond to acid reflux questions ---

Dani did not have any at all.

She almost never spit up, was not colicky at all, etc.

Don't know that this helps - but thought I'd throw in my 2 cents.

Yep, my son had bad acid reflex as an infant as well and was on

prilosec. He was very colicky because of it. Interesting thought, I do

wonder how many other kids suffered with that early on!

Hi -

I have two boys, ,6 and Zachary,4. They were both

born with dairy and soy allergies, but outgrew them at age 1.

I breastfed both of them for a year.

Since was the firstborn, we had no idea why he was

throwing up so much. After about 2 months,

we figured out the dairy allergy and I modified my diet to

exclude dairy and soy. This kept the throwing up down

significantly, but he had and continues to battle serious

acid reflux. He has never had a fever.

With Zachary, we identified the allergy the day he was born

and again I modified my diet to exclude dairy and soy

immediately. Zachary has never had reflux, but he started

fevering at age 2 and was diagnosed with last fall.

Zachary did however, have an episode of respiratory distress

with a bad cold at 6 mo. He was on and off a nebulizer every

time he got a cold for the next 2 winters. I've always wondered

if that had contributed to (think about all that saline

and albuterol being forced over his tonsils), but then again,

I've blamed mosquito repellent, lake water, wheat crackers,

sunscreen, constipation and just about every thing else

(including the sun!!)

It's amazing to see this posted, as my daughter had reflux as an infant. 

Knowing that the children of others who have posted suffered with the reflux for

years, I consider us lucky that she seemed to have outgrown it within her first

year. She was on Zantac for the reflux.  That said, our son who is almost 3

seemed to have the reflux worse and was on Prevacid...so far no fevering or

signs of ...

 

This could be an interesting correlation though.  Who knows.

 

daughter , now 5, fevering since 2, T & A scheduled for October 8th!

My son had terrible colic and acid reflux as a baby. He was on liquid

Prevacid and Nutramigen Hypoallergenic formula. The Nutramigen formula

worked wonders. Very expensive...but worth it! I do think there is a

high occurance of Acid Reflux in children. Not all...but many

seemed to have it as a newborn, according to this site.

Amy- Mom to -age 3- T & A 5 weeks ago-doing great:)

-Thanks for all the responses on reflux. Interestingly both my

children had severe reflux and were on prevacid but only my youngest

Teagan gets fevers. Brayden has had one fever his entire life and

that was with RSV whereas Teagan gets them every three weeks. Given

this, I thought that the Prevacid may have decreased the fevers as she

didn't cycle until we took her off of it. I don't necessarily think

there is a link between the reflux so much as between the use of anti

acids in preventing the fevers. I appreciate all the comments on this

interesting aspect of

i'm no doctor, but i have to tell you that you might be on to something here. 

there's something that's causing the inflammation in their bodies - what I just

don't get is what can be causing the cyclic nature of this.  why does it occur

on an interval?  it's like the body stores up something and then POW, it hits

with the fever. 

 

i hope the NIH can figure out what this darn thing is.  let's just all remind

ourselves that no matter how stressed we get about our children and their health

issues, there are parents out there dealing with stuff that's so much worse. 

this is not ideal by any stretch and stressful to no end, but let's all try to

keep positive - we see Dr. Feder in CT and he always tells us, I've seen so many

kids - they will outgrow this, there are no long term health impacts. 

Hang in there everyone.
