Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Hi le, Yes, that is correct. Basically, she feels that the appetite stimulant will cause the child to eat more which will exacerbate the reflux in children who already have it and could cause it in those who do not. It is one of the reasons that she has chosen to perform the fundiplication on children when she is putting in the gtube, additional food will exacerbate/cause the reflux. Keep an eye out for more burping, swallowing after eating (it helps to keep the food down).

Guest guest Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Cyproheptadine has been known to exacerbate reflux in children. It is probably not that it is causing a child who has NO reflux to have, and probably mmore likely that a child had silent reflux as a younger child and it the med exacerbates it.
