Silent Reflux

[Gumps]

Just wanted a bit of advice if anyone is around who has been through this.
DS2 was diagnsed with slient reflux at aged 3mo. He is on neocate and Losec and has also been on ranitidene and domperidone.
He has been doing really well and we have successfully introduced all food, bar dairy and nuts. He has also managed to drop the ranitidene and dom peridone without any problems.
We last saw the specialist on the 10th Dec and he said to slowly stop the Losec and then introduce some dairy once he is medicine free.
We are down to half a tablet in the evening of Losec but the last week or so ds2 has become erratic in his passing of stools, vomited a few times and is now totally refusing milk.
He doesn't have a specilaist appointment again until the beginning of March and dh and I can't agree on the best thing to do.
I think he should go back on the losec and see if the symtoms disappear, while dh thinks we should stop the medicine altogether and just try some dairy to get some calcium into him.
Anyone have any advice?

I agree with you - put back onto Losec. My DD is on Losec and Nutramagin but was also on Ranitidine and Domperidone. She got the Rotavirus and didn't take Losec for 10 days. We were hoping not to return her to any medicine but the vomiting returned as well as erratic sleep (constant waking). We reintroduced it and the symptoms subsided.

Furthermore, the erratic sleep continued so we saw someone else who said to increase the dose (1.5 tabs) - 0.5 in the morning and 1 in the evening. She immediately (yes, immediately) slept from 7 pm to 7 am.

How old is DS2? I would suggest rather being cautious with silent reflux and understand its tempting to stop all medicine and introduce cow's milk (I've thought about it many times) but in my experience, it's a nasty thing that just doesn't go away overnight.

Good luck!
