Infant Acid Reflux

Jen,

Can you tell the group a little more about which disorders you're worried about -- are you worried about permanent acid reflux or something more serious.

Also, here are a few links that might help you with your search for more info, one to a description of Reglan on healthcentral, and a couple to an organization called PAGER, which focuses on acid reflux issues in children.

Hello Jen,

With the new warnings from the FDA about Reglan, it is a good idea to call the doctor who prescribed the Reglan. The FDA encourages short term use of Reglan. You and the doctor can discuss the information about side effects and decide if your baby would benefit from staying on Reglan or trying a different treatment approach.

Be sure to read about other treatments for infant acid reflux on this site. Changing the diet, thickening feeds, elevating the sleep surface, small, frequent meals and holding upright after a feeding can be effective treatments too.
