Re: Gagging Question

[Guest guest]

hey jennifer!!

nicholas does this alot!! and now johnathon has started as well. i

think it is more of a sensory issue. nicholas seams to have a very

sensative gag reflex, you should see what we go through at a dentist

visit with him!!! and any little smell will send him gagging and

sometimes throwing up. christopher has done it on occasion, but my

2 nonrss kids seam to be worse!!!

,

Since I'm a little late in joining this thread I'll take a different

approach. Gagging is definitely a signature sign of reflux and

delayed gastric emptying, both issues we've had to deal with and

common with our children. We changed our son's formula to peptamin

jr. and added a laxative and saw a quick and dramatic drop in the

incidence of gagging. After a couple months he was still gagging when

he was upset, Dr. H had a little conference with him and we haven't

had a problem with it since. So I would rule out an organic cause

before trying to correct a behavioral problem. S.
