Please Help

I am needing to know if it is common for reflux to get worse in kids. Our 1 year old had reflux when he was a newbie...it got better, but since October it has been getting worse and worse...he has thrown up 11 times in the past 3 days. I am convinced it is not a stomach bug or a virus..He can not keep anything down now...not even the reflux meds. No fevers or no D. He seems to be fine other than the constant throwing up. IS THIS NORMAL???

We have an appointment today with the ped....but I do not want to be told let's just wait and see if this gets better...I have WAY too much going on with child #3 to wait and see how #4 does. I will probably end up crying in his office! And I HATE to cry in public!

Anyone have ANY advice??

TIA....Dallas

I'm so sorry you and your baby are going through all of this. I'm sorry I don't have any advice, other than checking for hidden gluten and making sure things like soap, shampoo, lotions, are gluten-free. (Have you checked your cosmetics too?).

I hope you get some answers at your appt.

It is such a shame that children have to go through this kind of thing, and so hard on the mothers. I sure hope that things get better soon.

I know with acid reflux we are told as adults not to lay down until two hours after eating or drinking. That is really hard to do with a baby. I sure hope that you get some help and not just told to wait.
