Hello Stephmay,   Your little guy sure seems like he is in pain. Something is bothering him. Certainly his symptoms are similar to the list I hear from many other parents. Struggling to eat and arching along with poor sleep are very common with reflux.   It sounds like the doctor is suspicious of reflux too since you have tried some prescription medications. I wonder if your little one has been tested for Milk Soy Protein Intolerance (MSPI). Often the doctor will test the stool in the office. Is there a family history of allergies? Does he have any rashes or ezcema?   Teething can worsen reflux. In addition to the usual discomfort from the emerging teeth, the increased saliva can really trigger reflux symptoms.   It is worrisome that he is reacting to the reflux medication. Are you using the Solutab or the capsule of beads?   As you know, there is a bit of trial and error to find the right treatment plan. I encourage you to stay in close contact with the doctor for ongoing assessment and treatment recommendations. Ask the doctor if it is time to see a specialist too.   I will be thinking about you.   Jan Gambino The Reflux Mom www.refluxmom.com
