Hi Jan,

Well, we saw a second allergist today.  I didn't think she would be very helpful in the beginning as she started to dismiss a link between Matthew's head tilting and reflux.  However, in the end I think she got it.  We are going to do further blood work re: allergies and we are also going to follow up with another gastroenterologist and neurologist.  She also mentioned the endoscopy with biopsies today and we are going to discuss this as an option with the GI.  At least maybe it will give us an idea if we are heading in the right direction. The GI we are going to see is the one that recommended a probe when Matthew was 2 months old, so I'm not sure if he is going to recommend one again or not.  But, we shall see.  His treating doctor just added 2cc of pepcid at night in addition to his 30 mg of prevacid in the morning.  If he doesn't respond, the option she gave us was to up his prevacid to 45 mg.  I just feel like we are trying to cover up a problem instead of treating it.  Hopefully we will have some further tests done and be able to come up with some real answers.  He has been tilting now for almost 2 months again.  It is INCREDIBLY frustrating.  He is so cranky and his sleep schedule is off....it is just not a good time for either of us.  :(

I will keep you updated....thanks for your help, and your ear!!

Cindy :)
