Re: Prevacid question

Yes we used the little packets for about a year with a g-tube. Yes it did frequently clog the extensions but never had any problems with the button. We used 30 cc's of apple juice which seemed to cause them to go down better. I must admit the prevacid compounded by the pharmacy with use of sodium bicarb sure beats the packets. We always had the toothpicks handy and used the bolus extension set versus the 90 degree elbow ones.

Good luck,

Prevacid question

I contacted Gracies G.I today about her recent issues with reflux and her other problems. She thinks most of her problem is that the reflux is starting again, I agree. She had severe reflux as a baby but had seemed to grow out of it. Now at 1 1/2 it is back again. She thinks alot of it is due to the mito progressing. O.K. here is the question. Has anyone used Prevacid suspension (the one in the packets that you mix with water) with a Mic-Key button? It has little beads in it that I am afraid will clog the port. The last time she was using it she did not have her g tube yet. But now, giving it too her orally is not an option, so it will have to go through the tube. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Please contact mito-owner with any problems or questions.
