I am also constantl...Isn't this stuff complex??!!! I am also constantly deciphering "reflux, calcium, sensory, oh my!, reflux, calcium, sensory, oh my!!" I, like you, wish I had more clear cut answers. We just took Emerson off her zantac because she had been on it since she was 4 months old and before we had a diagnosis. We tried zantac just to see if it would make her stop crying. I haven't noticed any change in her since we stopped. She eats and drinks the same. Her sleep has been kind of crappy lately, but it seems like we all battle that with these kids. Anyway, we are in the same boat trying to navigate through all of this. I wish you luck and hope you get some answers.Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04410149954395872693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29965768.post-1168868002757411342007-01-15T08:33:00.000-05:002007-01-15T08:33:00.000-05:00I went through a stage were I was convinced Avery ...I went through a stage were I was convinced Avery had reflux because her eating was not advancing. While I never had her tested because she showed no sighs other than not eating, I think what it really is is that with baby food it slides down the back of the throat like liquid, so not a lot of gagging. So when you move to the thicker textures the sensory issues become more apparent to them. I also think as they have more ability they struggle more and feel out of control, get scared, and gag. Also, Avery hates sensations on her lower arms, on the inside. Could the crying be that he is hypersensitive to touch in that area? Just some things to think about if you don't see anything medical pop up.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17516817466844602132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29965768.post-1168818238997254532007-01-14T18:43:00.000-05:002007-01-14T18:43:00.000-05:00I am the Reflux Queen. We have been through it all...I am the Reflux Queen. We have been through it all - x-rays, barium, severe reaction to reflux medicine, elevation of the head at night, special diet, etc. etc. Erik NEVER was a kid to spit up but had SEVERE reflux and still does to this day. He smelled like a battery when he was tiny and had burns all over his chin from the acid in his drool.<BR/><BR/>We are on Prilosec twice a day now, and the problem is under control. Keep trying medicine...the diet thing might not work if you are trying to keep calories in him and your menu is limited. <BR/><BR/>Just wait until Brady does the little "vroom vroom" noise with the car. Oh, and don't forget the motorboat ("BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRPPPRRRR").<BR/><BR/>Hang in there.Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15752344076797977728noreply@blogger.com
