Acid Reflux

Cactus Jack asked:


I’ve been asking a lot of questions lately on acid reflux because people here have been a great help.

Just wondering if acid reflux can make your upper throat feel full and if it can make you feel like you are having food stuck in the back of your mouth (where the throat/mouth meet).

Does anyone have thie experience?

Also, do people find apple juice helps? I was told it does.

My little girl is 5 weeks old and is gassy. She is a pretty good baby otherwise but sometimes when she spits up it comes out of her nose. Sometimes she regurgatates the bottle but very unfreqently. She also sometimes sounds like she is gurgling? She is such a good trooper though, she rarely cries at all and easts about every 3 hours. I have tried the mylicon drops and they seem to work only for a short period of time. My baby’’s doctor has put her on medicaine for acid reflux and told me to switch the formula to Nutramingin. When I did this after 2 days she seemed worse than ever. I put her back on Good start but have keep her on meds. I dont know what to do with her now. Is there a better formula anyone has tried with a baby with these symptoms. Can you really go by what the formula says it is for on the label. Why wouldnt Soy be recommended for gas/fussiness by doctors instead of putting them on meds and saying its acid reflux. Help!!

I plan to supplement with formula next month when my baby will be 3 months old. He has acid reflux and is probably lactose-intolerant / possible milk allergy. Which formula is recommended ? I will be asking the pediatrician as well. But before I speak with him, I wanted to find out what is widely used so that I can ask him if I can use the same for my baby. Thanks in advance for your answers.

I had spaghetti and tomato sauce for dinner and I still feel sick. I’m having a lot of acid reflux episodes (where you throw up in your mouth and it burns your chest and throat) and I don’t know what triggered them.

My son has had really bad acid reflux since he was born. Now being 5 months old I would like to introduce a sippy cup to him. Just with a little bit of water he can try and get out of it nothing major but just to get familiar with the cup idea instead of the bottle. Any suggestions on what sippy cup is the best out there. He likes the one we do have that has little handles on it that he can grab on to. Thanks!!

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.

I started suffering from the symptoms of acid reflux the week after Thanksgiving. On December 21, I went to a doctor and he gave me Prevacid. I’ve been taking that since then. I started feeling much better about a week after I started taking the medication, but my symptoms are not all the way gone. Sometimes I still feel like I have a lump at the back of my throat and I have to burp a lot. Occasionally I’m slightly nauseous. How long does it typically take to recover from acid reflux, or do you recover at all? And when I run out of medication, should I be fine by then or will I need more? I have enough for about a month and a half. I do plan on going back for a check up at the end of this month as well, as my doctor asked me to.

Lately my throat has felt like its burning and acid-y. It also feels like I have to burp after I eat. Are these symptoms of acid reflux?

I have acid reflux disease and my mom smoked while she was pregnant with me. I hate her for doing that. Every time I am around tobacco smoke, my acid reflux starts acting up all of a sudden. Has anyone heard of these two things being linked?
