Re: Major Diet Infringement

Get the regular PepcidAC tablets (not the chewables) and give one

immediately. It does work! We usually have to more one a day for

about 3 days (until infringment symptoms don't come back), but other

kids only need it once.

Alkaseltzer gold seems to be harder to find than regular alka

seltzer. The gold version doesn't have the problem ingredient.

When asked how I handled my son's infringements, I told our doctor

(an allergist/immunologist) and the visiting DAN consultant that I

used pepcidAC. No reaction from them; the DAN doctor knew that

parents were using it and asked if I found it effective.
