RE: esophageal inflammation or silent reflux

[Guest guest]

If you suspect inflammation, I would make an appointment with a GI and talk

about an endoscopy to check things out in the inside.

My dd has very painful reflux since birth. She was on prevacid and zegerid

for a while to prevent the acid from burning her esophagus. She had an

endoscopy done and things look good inside.

We then started her on enzymes, probtioitcs and a food elimation process.

These things helped her vomiting issues tremendously. She is now off

medication and she still vomits here and there, but is not as bad as it used

to be.

At my house, digestive enzymes and removing certain foods eliminated

most reflux.

We found our son's reflux only by endoscopy. The biopsies from his

esophagus showed scar tissue from years of untreated and silent acid reflux.

Our son is Nonverbal and had literally burned for years and couldn't tell

us. Our GI doc prescribed Prefaced solutes 30mg each day. We saw

improvement on the second dose.

We suspect our son has esophageal inflammation and possibly silent reflux.

If anyone's been in the same boat, can you share what has helped your child?

Thanks a bunch!!

If Dana's suggestions do not eliminate reflux look at testing for H.

Pylori bacteria. This can be treated naturally...vrp.com has some

information on it and stuff to treat it.
