Question by SephiesMom24: I think I have Celiac disease. What are the first steps I need to take. What are safe foods to eat?
For about 6 months I have had digestive problems. Diarrhea on a daily basis especially after a meal. Upper abdominal pain, which I thought was acid reflux. Lots of burping and gas/bloating. And my hands have been breaking out with these little water filled itchy blisters. =( Doctor diagnosed me with IBS with diarrhea. She gave me dicyclomine which didn’t do diddley squat, then metrononazole because she thought it might me an infection but nothing has helped I am so tired of suffering. Has anyone else had similar symptoms and been diagnosed with celiac. Also any idea on what kind of diet i need to follow and how do you tell if food has gluten in it. Thanks

My son recently got perscribed Zantac. They just said he has “acid reflux.” Hes been on it for two weeks now. He is under the 3rd percentile. and can still fit in 3 month clothing. How long did it take ur child to gain some weight from it? I think something else is wrong. He still spits up the same amount and is still around the same weight. Hes 10 months and 16lbs.

I’ve been told by my doc to lay off coffee and tea and fruit juices and I’m drinking lots of water while I have this acid reflux, but it there any drinks I can take? I have managed my diet okay,but i’m finding just drinking water a drag. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks

I am breastfeeding and also 7 weeks pregnant. I

I am 20 weeks pregnant, and I have acid reflux (before pregnancy) the medication that I took, I cannot take while pregnant. I have been using tums, but everything I eat causes it, and at times it gets so bad the tums have no affect. Any suggestions?

I started to have acid reflux symptoms about 2 months ago.

I went to see my medical doctor and then a gastroenterologist.

I have tried more then one medication.

My doctor started me on Axciphex on 1/9 to take in the morning. I am also taking Omeprazole at night.

The Omeprazole was causing sleep disturbances on me. The doctor now is having me try Pepcid AC.

My baby is almost 5 months old and has been diagnosed with Acid Reflux. He’s exclusively breast fed, and after trying lots of different things we had to start him on Zantac because he is refusing to eat very much (he will only take about 2-2.5 oz is my guess each feeding). We have tried expressed milk in a bottle, and formula…all with the same result – refusal. The doctor started him on Zantac last week and it’s only been 5 days he’s been taking the medication but he is still refusing to eat and we have to top him up with expressed milk after every feeding using a syringe.

I am not looking to be judged on giving my baby medicine, you would too your child was not eating enough and gaining weight well. I am looking to find other people that had similiar experiences and how long it took until their baby began to breastfeed (or drink formula normally again).
