My DD2 is 16 weeks old and has dreadful reflux. We've just been to a paeditrician who prescribed a proton pump inhibitor (lansoprazole) and advised taking her off Infant Gaviscon, which was helping to some extent with keeping stuff down and making the refluxy episodes less frequent.
We've been on the lansoprazole for three days now and things seem much worse, she is really uncomfortable most of the time (when she's not screaming with pain) and drinking hardly any milk (she's on Neocate). She is bringing up lots more clear liquid, I guess because there is no Gaviscon to weight it all down. Is this normal at the beginning of taking a PPI? How long before things will get better? Can we combine the Gaviscon with the PPI (not taking it at the same time, but during feeds).
I'm at my wits end and really anxious that we've made things worse not better. Any advice or reassurance would be SO great x
