I happens to me too! has it. a bit of zantac or something similar will do the trick if the doc ok's it. I just wrote to the nurse practitioner and she tells me to try giving her 150 mg of Zantac. Will see if it works. Thanks for you help. Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Gastro-esophogeal reflux? Just a thought, n Rojas Question!! OK guys I have a question and I know someone on here will have an answer for me! We went to clinic on Monday and the girls are doing great but my youngest complains about food coming back up into her mouth (sorry about being so graphic) when I talked to her doctor about it I said sometimes I wonder if it is because she runs around after she eats or if it is something else. Well, this morning while she was trying to take her vitamins and mind you she hadn't eaten a thing yet she said mom I can't take these pills yet until the stuff quits coming up into my mouth and I said what food you haven't eat yet she said I know but it is coming from my throat. I was shocked!! Has anyone else have a child that has had this happen? Deb A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 That sounds like reflux to me. They can do a swallow study to confirm this. If your cf doc won't order one then take her to a gastro. doc. If it is actually food that is still coming up she could also have a slow emptying stomach. Patti has both. She takes reglan for the slow stomach and the zantac for the reflux. Dawn mom of 4, 8 and under, the youngest wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 I originally was placed on Reglan before all the other tests and meds, Cheers, n Rojas--Reglan increases gastric motility, thus getting the good out a bit sooner--works fine unless one has a giant hiatal hernia!

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Yes... It can happen. It often does with Patti. Of course, she could be refluxing phlem, or just stomach juices. Dawn mom of 4, 8 and under, the youngest wcf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 11, 2004 Report Share Posted February 11, 2004 Deb A, I believe she is experiencing reflux and should be on acid blockers like prilosec or something. This can be a very serious condition, since there is risk of aspiration, and the acid can eat away at the espophagus. Have her see a gastro enterologist. He or she can help reduce the reflux and treat its symptoms.
