Kelly/ SNAP, I would love not to have to give any more bloody reflux meds.. My daughter is now 20 months old and is still on 20mg Omeprozole and 10ml Gaviscon advanced liquid.
She was diagnosed at 5 weeks with server silent reflux, after numours times she stopped breathing and turned blue.
Untill about 6 weeks ago, her reflux was plodding along nicely, she was only taking 2ml Gaviscon advanced liquid and 2.5mg Omeprozole a day, sadly she ended up with 10 days of the Norvor virus (sorry about spelling) and then straight on top a fortnight chicken pox. Needless to say her reflux took a really battering and she had her meds increased. I felt a complete failure, like the last 6 months of reducing meds had been a complete waste of time.
I have been told that because she has such a delicate system (dairy intolarent and a /celiac) and then of course the Acid reflux, she will be prone to viruses and infections easier then fit and well kids.
I just try and look at the possitive side, If the meds help then keep giving them. My little one doesnt know any difference. I'll get my dream of med free one day, as im sure you will x
