Guest guest Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 My son, (11-nonverbal), appears to have acid reflux. I have no idea where this came from. He has been on the SCDiet for more than a year (which I thought was healing to the digestive system), but in November, he developed a cough which never went away. By February, it had gotten so bad he was sticking his hand down his throat to cause himself to throw up. In my search for answers, I came across the possibility of acid reflux, but was unable to get any real help from his DAN! doctor. It is so bad now, that in the past week, his appetite has gone way down and he is crying and biting his arm throughout the day. I think it is acid reflux because when he starts to melt down, if I give him alka-seltzer heartburn relief, he calms within about a minute. When he was at lunch yesterday, as soon has he finished the alka-seltzer, he started wolfing down his food (he had been picking at it and crying before). I have read that things like alka-seltzer are not the way to go, but I don't know what is a good treatment. I don't want to have to put him on drugs because I'd like to find the underlying cause and do something to heal it. But, if the SCDiet hasn't helped, then I don't know what will. Does anyone at all have any ideas for me? Thank you, -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
