hopebaymama asked:


No matter how many burps she has, my daughter is still spitting up a lot after some feeds. Pediatrician diagnosed acid reflux and said to keep her upright. It seems to bother her, especially the really big ones. Any tips appreciated.
sorry, I meant to mention she is stricty breastfed.

I have been diagnosed with acid reflux and have been taking 1 Nexium tablet daily for about a year and a half. Although it is used for heartburn I have never had heartburn at any time. I wonder if there is a time limit on long you should be on it.

Amaloo N asked:


The acid reflux is not continual but at least 4 times per week. Since the reflux problem started I have had paste like stools. Not watery but like paste. With or without using an acid reducer the bowels stay the same. What the heck is happening - should I go to doctor?

socca_fo_life asked:


I’ve been having acid reflux for about 3 months now i believe. Whenever i run i begin to cough. Before i would start coughing while doing any type of physical movements. Although, i’ve been taking Prilosec. I think I am getting better. I havent been coughing as much so thats good. However I’m afraid to run because I want it to get better.
Please help me with some info.
