Please be rude to me or tell me off.

i posted about it before but I have officially gone crazy. Pills not even helping me. I stopped sleeping or eating due to it and I need to know if I am the reason for my child sudden reflux. He is 3 years old and suddenly started refluxing and getting worst. Gp send for blood test etc and we are waiting.
I blame myself because I used to allow him to finish his toddler water bottle which can hold up to 300ml-350ml at one go. So I am thinking I ruined his stomach.
His routine
breakfast oat or egg with toast avocado with milk (10am)

lunch pasta or sandwich’s with slice of vag and yougurt (12 o’clock))

snack 4pm plate of fruits plus cup of milk and pastry

dinner 6pm

maybe I didn’t space enough the snack 4pm and dinner 6pm. Maybe constant sipping or gulping caused it

my child was born healthy and fit. He has been suffering for 2 months now
if he plays after eating it happens, if he sneeze or overeat, reflux happens. My heart is broken and cannot shake the thought it’s my fault 🤦‍♀️
HELP ME PLS TELL ME IF ITS ME . I need to know

Both my children, aged 3 and 6 have downed their drinks (500ml bottles) since they were 24 ml of water in minutes, you'd think there were starved with how quickly they finished drinks/food.

It's not you. Don't you dare for a second blame yourself.

If the GP results come back fine, try changing their diet and see if that makes a difference. If not, go back to the GP and demand further examination/referral.

Again, DO NOT BLAME YOURSELF

No I won't be rude to you or tell you off !!

Children are growing and changing all the time.
It could be anything, and it's likely a phase that will pass. It's nothing you're doing.

At first glance that does seem maybe quite a lot of food with not much time between, but only you know what his portion sizes are like (full adult dinner plate of pasta obviously very different to a small handful sort of thing). Breakfast seems quite late too - is he having anything on waking at all?
Mine were more grazers at that age, so they'd have the equivalent of a full meal but more spread out if that makes sense?

But no, I really don't think it's your fault love

Breakfast can sometimes be early 8am but if he had long naps during the day he can have late breakfast. Beside breakfast which one you think is too close and not spaced out ?

Is it worse on days with egg? I'm not allergic to egg in anyway but having a egg sets me off all day just dosent seem to sit right

His brother has dairy and egg allergy 😩
anyways his blood test will check for egg allergy too! But according to my food diary, anytime it flared up he had eggs and then stays for few days! I can see it had trigger but couldn’t be sure what!

Aw bless so hard to figure out isn't it? Yous will get there

I'd wonder about EOE? Maybe from eggs, or even dairy.

It is not caused by drinking or eating too much, or too close together- to be blunt, sorry, but that's ridiculous.

It's awful when our kids have an issue but blaming yourself helps no one. Hopefully your doctor finds the cause asap and a food diary is a greag idea. If you suspect eggs, cut them out and see what happens. You can always reintroduce them if nothing changes.

I hope it’s not EOE after quick google it says it’s chronic
they send him to ent specialist which is nice as well!

Updated the thread my child blood work came positive for high ige to eggs and milk ☺️
