Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a good Christmas. Steph, I know things have been rough this last week for you, and I hope things improve soon for you all. The reason I'm writing is that for some months now Jazzie has had night time gulping and loud swallowing at night, which her GI says is reflux. She was on omeprazole and domperidone, which slightly improved things, but not much. I stopped the omeprazole without noticing any worsening of her condition. She was facing a nissen fundo op if things didn't improve. I noticed the last few nights that her gulping had stopped and mentioned it to DH, who replied " Oh that's the ginger you are giving her in her pancake " . (SCD). He had spoken to his mam the other day (she has been diagnosed with a hiatus hernia and was also on omeprazole). She bought herself an alternative treatment book, and had started taking ginger after reading it should help, in a drink. She has not taken the PPI for a week now, and has had no heartburn. Coincidence? If anyone is interested, I could post the pancake recipe. I have also started giving Jasmine ginger in her diluted orange drink. I warm it up and call it her " Christmas Special Juice " . She also likes it cool, again with orange juice, and topped up with fizzy water - Orange and Ginger beer! With us though, it took a few weeks for it to work. MIL says it worked after a couple of days for her. HTH Glynis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 --- Hi Caroline, Yes, it has got good anti-inflammatories, so MIL's book says. I presume its this action that's worked for Jasmine. I am so relieved that her reflux looks like clearing up at last. I've been worried sick about it since April. And yes, Jazzie is still eating solid foods, yay!! She is mostly SCD, however she still hovers badly behaviour-wise. Not as good as when she was tube fed, but you can see the difference when we ease up on the diet, she goes so manic. Non-stop talking, the same thing over and over again!!! I let her have some chips the other night and I'm still recovering from it!! It's Christmas though, so I haven't been as strict as usual.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 --- Hi Vicky Here's the recipe, it's very quick and easy: 30g ground almonds 5g honey 1 egg A couple of good shakes of ginger powder. Mix all together and fry very gently in pan. I use very little oil, and I also use the grill to do the top of the pancake, before turning over. Top with more honey or ginger if desired. Hope it's good!
