dd and ds still get reflux. We haven't been to the doctor about it because I'm not sure what can be done other than medication (as they were both seen by paediatricians as babies/toddlers - reflux appears to run in our family but isn't hereditary apparently!).
Anyway, what I was going to ask was ds (who is 8) is vomiting up whole meals probably once a week at the moment. It's normally if he eats too much (one of the things about reflux is not realising when you should stop!) but it also seems to coincide with him drinking a lot of milk. He loves milk and will quite happily drink a whole pint of it in one go.
He had a milk allergy as a child (untested - his older sister had tested allergies so I knew what it was when he showed the signs) but he outgrew it fairly quickly (I think around 1ish).
I am thinking it is because his tummy is too full rather than a reaction to the milk but was wondering if anyone else's older child still has a problem with reflux and how are you handling it.
