can you give a basic "Good food" list or "avoid foods" list?
I currently work with blind and severely handicapped children- in a school setting.In a 5 day program- school monday -friday home Fri- Sun.- Situation: 16 yr. old girl, not a lot of parental involvement, girl is known to have "Gerd", premature at birth: 1.5lbs. currently 66lbs., asmatha, will eat a half portion of school regulated breakfast, lunch and supper.
usually Mon. after breakfast ( usually consists of scrambled eggs, slice of american or motz. cheese, 8oz whole milk w/ instant breakfast) could be anywhers from 20- 1 hr. later, continued coughing which then leads to phlem being brought then followed by breakfast.
after some gravy meals( chicken pot pie, potatoes and gravy ect.) some chicken meals, I am really just starting to jot down any and all of a pattern,
she is unable to tell excatly what or where she feels discomfort or the feelings of situations, just after and episode that her stomach and head really hurt, ( with no doubt as she puts every muscle into action as she goes through these vometing episodes.)
I would like to follow up if I'm on the right path before I continue to fight on her behalf.
she is curently on nexium, but I am not sure this is her best defense product, school officals are secure with the idea that this is anirexia, I on the other hand am not convinced, as there are many days she will come to me and say she is hugry - eat something and be fine.
a pattern of days she seems to be very tired, drawn out, fatiqued it seems.
I will try to answer any questions that you may have- but please understand I am searching for answers, with not alot of back up (parent really does not feel theirs an issue-says shes fine at home)
The problems you list in this question seem to go way beyond the scope of this Web site.
I'm not sure anyone could answer all of these issues properly.
We have some great resources on acid reflux/GERD in children and teens on our acid reflux site. Take a look here.
You may also want to try our partner site, www.reflux.org, where they have a huge message board where people post questions about children's diets, vomiting, acid reflux and more.
As for the possibility of food allergies, check out our page on the food allergy basics, where you will find information about the most common food allergens and foods where they may be lurking. You will need a doctor to do allergy tests and such to diagnose a food allergy. You won't be able to figure that out on your own.
