Hi, My little one is now 12 weeks and was prescribed domperidone at 8 weeks as the gaviscon and ranitidine weren't helping much and Gaviscon was making her constipated. She has silent acid reflux, not vomitty. they said the domperidone might…

No problem! Have you considered neocate and Dr Shah? It really is worth seeing him if your baby vomits alot as they can develop something called oral aversion when they don't want to eat and it's hard work reversing it (from my experience).

Thats sounds terrible - I 'm so glad she is fine now poor little thing! I have decided not to give her it for now, she seems to be less sick and loving her food and sleeping well so don't want to 'rock the cradle'! Thanks for…

I think it is truly awful! It has dairy in it. My daughter did not sleep a wink on it and I think it gave her awful tummy cramp. She was on it for five months and they were the worst five months of my life! She vomited all the time and vomited food…

Thanks. I am waiting for another paed visit but will give it a go if they think its a good idea. She seems to be sick more one day and less the next so its not straight forward. Glad your little one is good.

Hi Shona, My little girl has been on domperidone for over 2 years now along with several other meds. If I am honest for a while I was unsure if it was doing anything until I tried to take her off it. The great thing about domperidone is it…

Thanks for the advice. My daughter seems to no longer be in pain but throws up (regurgitates) constantly. We already use CArobel so was worried this might be too much for her. Good to know it works!

Hi Domperidone works for my daughter really well, she has silent reflux but it really helps keep the food down. I do notice the difference if I don't give it to her.

Hi Shona, i know of one mum who's baby was on it for two and a half years, and she swears it was brilliant. However for my daughter she just had loads of screaming episodes. I think each baby is diferent. xx

Domperidone - any good? Any warnings? PLease advise!

Hi there, my 8 month old lo is over the acid reflux and no longer on pain but vomits A LOT! So...we have been prescribed Domperidone on its own to help this. I was wondering if anyone has any comments about it as I don't want to shove things down her throat if I don't have to!

Hurray! So pleased to hear that carobel has worked for you - I think I started a similar discussion a couple of months ago because I was amazed that even though it sorted out my eldest daughter noone would prescribe it for my youngest, so we…

Carobel is a thickener for milk, it helps it stay down. I think its an old fashioned remedy but it works so I'm happy! Its probably the same principle as thick and easy.

Oh no my second daughter has also been diagnosed with reflux!

My 3 year old daughter MInnie was diagnosed with reflux at 3 months after constant crying, vomitting blood etc. A magic wand of carobel and adult gavison (yes - but it was prescribed by the doc in A&E!) turned our screaming miserable baby into a smiling angel overnight. I gave up breastfeeding in a flash. It was worth it. 2 weeks ago we realised our 12 week old baby Stella also has reflux (to our dismay). The docs have only prescribed infant gaviscon which is franly not so good and I am… Continue
