I was told for 2 years that it would stop, it was just low muscle tone, finally I had had enough!!! Ella is on Prevacid now, she tried a couple of other things before this, but it's the only thing that works. Now she may puke 1 to 3 times a day, but this at least takes the acid out of it so it doesn't burn their little throats. Good luck : )Kacey Bodehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00416383186475328888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398462056144757246.post-31877329385106406352009-04-09T15:00:00.000-05:002009-04-09T15:00:00.000-05:00Hello.

Maybe ask your PED for a refferal to GI and get this treated sooner than later. Tristan had erosion to his esphogus due to untreated reflux and it caused alot of problems with oral resistance when it came time to eat solids. Eroded esophagus and throat is very painful. Tristan's was fire engine red when he was diagnosed. If it was me I wouldn't wait to see if it gets better because it's not likely it will because of the low muscle tone that is common in DS. At 5 it finally looks like he may be over with Reflux. We are on a 6 month trial without the meds to see.Karihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04214240569421989423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3398462056144757246.post-35846879659292981032009-04-09T13:21:00.000-05:002009-04-09T13:21:00.000-05:00Hi Ruby and Ruby's mom.....thank you for adding JE...Hi Ruby and Ruby's mom.....thank you for adding JEB's journey to your following list!!!

At least with Whitney - it could be just before her next bottle (2-3 hours later) and she will spit up a little.

It did get noticably better once she started walking at 21 months, but for some reason, 2 was the charm. I have some pretty crazy spit-up stories I'll have to save for a retrospective blog post one day. Ruby's still adorable, even with milk pouring out of her mouth.

I didn't think it...oh man, I remember those days!! I didn't think it was ever going to end. Adam had reflux but we never had to give him medication for it because he didn't seem to do it in his sleep and he never aspirated. When Adam was around 2 it did stop (around the time he started walking). Then when he was 7 we found out he never really stopped he has what they call silent reflux and we watch what he eats and he is on medication now. Good Luck!!!

Our carpets are going to need a good cleaning this spring!<BR/><BR/>Joel is on Losec for reflux and it has really helped with the frequency of his spit up. Now he usually only spits up once a day if that. He is also getting older and I think that has helped too. We have been able to decrease his Losec dose by quite a bit.<BR/><BR/>I hope Ruby out grows it soon!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13884926543146157724noreply@blogger.com
