Re: Re: Reflux and fundos -

Hey Jen,

I would definitely bring the regurgitating behavior up with Dr H. I actually

think that it could have something to do with reflux. It takes the same type

of movement in the esophagus as reflux does.

I used to feel the same way as you do now about problems, and that maybe I

was seeing things that weren't there, just because it was brought to my

attention. What I do now is make a list of criteria for a specific problem,

and then see how many of the criteria meets. If it is a significant

amount then I bring it up with the appropriate specialist. If not, then I

try to let it go.

At the feeding therapy seminar at the convention, the therapist that gave

the talk stressed that it was important for our kids to take a bite, chew,

swallow, and then wash it down with a drink. She says that most therapist

don't go this route, but that because our children often have tongues that

are connected far back in the mouth, giving them a smaller area to swallow

through, that it can help with getting food down, and keeping it there.

Hope some of this helps.

Hugs for you all!
