My toddler is 16 months old. Since she was 6 months old i unknowingly overfed my baby. So almost every night she would projectile vomit after she woke up from crying. I seriously had no idea i was doing this. Because during the same time she had gotten sick.. so i just thought that was the reason she threw up so much. However 2 weeks later the sickness went away and the vomitting still occured for another month. What an awful mother i was to not realize what i was doing. til this day i dont forgive myself.

Since she was 6 months old. she started vomitting very easily. like if she cried too long or too hard. or if she ate something and it got stuck in her mouth.. and every single time she got sick she vomit terribly.
would this mean that she had a reflux problem??
since she was a newborn she has been drinking Similac Advance.. and now she drinks Similac go & grow for toddlers because more than a few bottles of red milk causes her to get awfully constipated.
Since she has been drinkin Similac Advance from newborn to 6 months just fine it cant be the formula right??? or could it be??

I seem to get reflux from eating something as simple as a bowl of plain oats. Is there any special diet out there for you folks suffering acid reflux or GERD? Or is it more about the proportions you eat?

I’ve had an esphagael test, asthma tests, acid reflux medications, inhalers, but nothing works. A CT Scan showed one sinus is quite blocked, but the ENT said that wouldn’t cause this cough. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this or know someone who has had a similar prolonged cough and what they did for relief?
I have never smoked, but my Dad smoked …however, I haven’t lived with him for 25 yrs. I don’t have any of the symptoms of TB: Fever, Loss of appetite,
Weight loss or Night sweats. My tonsils according to my doctor, are almost non-existent. I have seen many doctors and 3 specialists in ear nose & throat. CT scan on my chest tomorrow. Any other ideas?

I went the the doctor he prescribed prevacid 30 days I took one pill then decided to wait on it because I was feeling better. I haven’t started the regimen because before I had constipation so bad that i couldn’t pass gas I am better know but still have bouts of acid reflux to the point of gagging and choking, the more I Read the more I wonder.Ironically not enough acid is the real problem along with possible pancreatic problems or not enough bile released for digestion. Im taking gas pills mylanta and took pepcid twice. A long term acid reflux medication regimen is dangerous your acid is the first line of defense against virus and bacteria long term use puts you at risk for cancer pneumonia the list goes on. What should I do I know its linked to something else I have had a stomach ultrasound it came back ok but that test isn’t reliable in terms of gastrointestinal disorders. Doctors keep telling me im ok they give me pills that will help but in the long term they are problematic what the hell should I do?

I really want to go back to eating meat and dairy. My body can’t handle this kind of shock and I can’t even eat onion garlic and tomatoe or alcohol without getting acid reflux. How can I ease back into my meat eating dairy drinking ways?

I’ve been to the doctor this past week after being very ill and was diagnosed with acid reflux. I have been losing sleep because I wake up with acid in my mouth and throat and I am so sick of it! My sleep is horrible and it is really affecting my daily tasks. I notice when I sleep on my right side I notice MORE fatigue than when I sleep on my left side. Is there a certain way to sleep?? Also, I’ve been taking Mylanta Ultimate Strength for my sour stomach .. been working so far any further suggestions?

An old friend of my husband’s is coming up from Texas this weekend so I’m thinking about what I should make for Supper. Does anyone have any recipe ideas that your willing to share? The recipe cannot have cheese, tomatoes and it cannot be spicy cause I have an ulcer and acid reflux.

The doc has put my son on axid (for his acid reflux) but he still doesn’t seem to be getting any better. He has been on it for about 3 1/2 days now. He still seems fussy. Maybe i should switch his formula to enfamil nutrimagen or AR?? I’m so confused as to what i should do. My doc doesn’t seem to be much help. I know that something is wrong with my child and all he pretty much just says deal with it. He is not sleeping good and i have tried 1 tsp of cereal in his bottle at night, i’ve tried elevating his head, burping him (although he is very hard to burp). Any suggestions? I’m exhausted!

Anyone with a baby that has reflux..what are you doing??
