Toddler Reflux/GERD
Our toddler had an upper GI done recently and we found out he had reflux which is also commonly called GERD. We have always thought he had reflux since he vomits very frequently and cannot tolerate certain foods. We were just waiting for the official diagnosis. Our toddler also arches his back and cries often. These are all symptoms of reflux/gerd in toddlers.
We have to take the results to his DR but I'm sure he will be prescribed medication and a reflux diet. Do any other parents out there have toddlers with reflux? What kind of diet does your child have?

Well, you know little man here has reflux. He takes Zantac for it and doesn't really have a diet. We know what irritates it worse so we try to avoid those types of food. Anything spicy is bad and for some reason at times milk is bad. It's like it sours on his stomach fast. He loves mexican so we just make that something we don't have very often and try to get his with very little seasoning. Also, no eating before bed. If they eat and lie down, it makes it worse. I think that it just makes it back up on them. Overeating can also cause problems. I know that your little guy doesn't have that problem, but once his belly starts calming down, his appetite may be ravenous. Our 4 yr old is able to tell us now when he needs his "tummy medicine". He will say he hates the flavor but he loves his tummy not to burn. Zantac is so nasty. We had it flavored orange and it didn't really help. Geez, sorry this is so long! You can delete it if you want lol.
