Hi, my name is Nicola and my son has reflux, and a milk protein allergy/intolerance, he's now 13 months old and has been on gaviscon, domperidone, and omeperzole since he was 8 months old, thanks to a really good registrar at Gloucester Royal, and now he's under the consultant Dr Peek, who has been really good, he's got slightly better over the past year, but he's no where near grown out of it, as he still needs all 3 meds, and every time we try and reduce them we get in probs, of reflux, vomiting, and food refusal, it usually takes us about 3 weeks to get the whole eating food again into the swing, of things,
I would love to hear from anyone who has also suffered with reflux for this length of time, as all H/V GP's told us he would really outgrow this by 1, starting to not believe them now,!!!!
His milk allergy is separate but it does make everything more complicated, as it affects his digestion quite badly, therefore the poor little mite has spent most of his life with stomach ache, remarkably he's a happy little chap, but he does require a lot of attention.
luckily for me he's not my first, I have older ones who are really useful and helpful at meeting his needs, while I’m cooking tea, or going to the loo!!
If anyone would like to chat I’d love to hear from you,
