Glad to hear it! I post there often (or used to anyway, not so much anymore) as knb18.

We're barely eating or drinking here today but again, it seems related to the massive amount of congestion and nose crust. She's happy as a clam though...

Well the rest of our day went okay.  Lunch he ate 1/2 sandwich and a few bites of apple.  Dinner..  Spit out pork, green beans, potaoteos and carrots.  He finally ate 3 crackers.

Have you figured out anything more with the Prevacid timing, Wendy?

Welcome Sheila and don't be embarrased. Isn't Nathan a former refluxer too? It seems many of our LOs on this thread are...

That's great Leahsmom - how did you get her to try that?

Today Marisa had:
- Breakfast: 2 ounces milk, most of oatmeal (made with one ounce milk)/fruit mix. One bite of Ego waffle, few cheerios
- Morning snack/early lunch: 3.5 ounces milk, 6 small bites grilled cheese, veggie booty
- Afternoon snack: 4 spoonfuls veggie puree, .5 ounce milk, 3 wagon wheels, diluted juice. Refused turkey, cheese
- Dinner: 1.5 ounces milk, 4 tiny bites chicken cutlet, jar of carrots/beef/barley, almost half whole grain English muffin toasted and buttered, Just Strawberries, Whole Foods Veggie Chips (likes the carrots and green beans)
- Bedtime: handful of Gerber freeze dried fruit - new flavor this time - banana/pineapple, 4.5 ounces milk

Karen:  I have not figured out any more with the timing.  Today I gave it to him right after his milk and then breakfast was 15 minutes later.  So I am sure the prevacid did not even work today.  Hummm  maybe that could be why he was so darn fussy all day long...

What if for some reason he does not really have true reflux?  We never have had testing done.  I mean he has all the symptoms of it and everytime we go to the doctor they do a strep test because he throat is always so red (but yet he never has strep).  Can this medicine do any harm if they do not really need it?

I just wish I could figure out why he does not eat that much (never ever has) and why he whines all the time.  He has been sleeping really good though.

Wendy - the medicine will not do any harm - it is virtually impossible to overdose on a PPI. And from your description it does sound like he needs it but I'd really try to time it better and get him on two doses a day and see if that really helps.

Hi..
I  am  more and more sure that Jakobs reflux issues have contributed to his selective eating habits.If i think about it when he was young his throat was always "burnt" by the stomach acids coming back up (silent reflux) and he associated food/swallowing with pain.Purees always soothed it eating them was never a problem.
When he started lumpier foods he was very anti them. I know he was young but perhaps physcologically he asscoiated food with pain  IYGWIM? He has taken many months to even try finger foods and of course now is still very limited in what he will eat.

I wish there was more research done in the connection between reflux and food issues......i have come across a lot of mothers with reflux babies/toddlers who go through the same thing! Something to think about.

We have added one new food this week which Jakob is wolfing down.......rice rissotto. He loves it!!! Yeah for a new item to the "yes" list!!!!! Last week he added rice crackers....so one new food a week is all good!
