Hi,
I'm new to this, so bear with me if I type without abbreviations.....
My son has gastro oesophigal reflux - he was fially diagnosed after 5 months of misery (his and ours). He is now 7.5 months and has been on LOSEC & Domperidone for about 9 weeks. We have seen some impovement in him since taking the drugs for the reflux (he is not in nearly so much pain). However,he has had back to back chest infections for months and months (I know these are cause by inhaling the vomit), so has been a very miserable baby really.
He is finally shaking off the most recent chest infection (which lasted 6 weeks)and he seems a bit brighter. However he still seems to be very uncomfortable at various points throughout the day. He is still very fractious at the breast (can't get him to take bottle/cup) and altho he loves his solids, he often spends a lot of time grunting and straining. He also cries during feed/meals more often than not.
Is this the reflux, I wonder, or is it something else???I don't know which I am more afraid of .... if it is the reflux then this is obviously as good as he is going to be until he eventually grows out of it. If it is something else (twisted gut??) then I don't want him to be subjected to any more pain or treatment...........
Help! Does anyone have a similar experience???
