Omeprazole and formula

[Wispa12345]

Hi, we've been battling reflux for some time now and after trying ranitidine and gaviscon we have been prescribed omeprazole. DD has been on anti reflux milk for a while and where it has def helped with sickness it bungs her up so she's had lactulose and/or movicol to get things moving but def gets tummy ache a lot. I wonder what your experiences are. Should we try comfort milk or keep giving lactulose (she is wise to the syringe and jams her mouth shut so quite a battle to get it down her!) Normal formula with gaviscon just made her more sick and horrifically constipated. Your views / recommendations very much welcomed!

Hi there, I just posted about our experience with reflux on the reflux support thread. A combination of normal formula with omeprazole has worked best for DS. I hated the anti-reflux milk, he really struggled with constipation after it, poor thing. Loads better now and he's eating a lot more and managing to keep most of it in too. Becoming quite the chubster :)

How old is your DD?

She's just turned 7 months so we are weaning and she is on 3 meals a day and although we have been able to reduce some of her milk feeds we are yet to drop any. How long did you find the omeprazole took to work?
