My daughter is 19 months old and has had a reflux problem since birth. She has been on Zantac and Propulsid for
the past 19 months with no signs of helping.
She just had an upper endoscopy and a biopsy showed that she had esophagitis. What exactly is this and how serious
is this to treat? She is now on Prilosec for this
problem. She is still vomiting and when she does, she is bringing up foods from the previous day and they aren't
digested much. She is scheduled for a Gastric Emptying Scan.
It there a link between having problems digesting food and the reflux in her esophagus. What could be causing the
stomach to not digest food when she has an over abundance of acid?
Any information will be appreciated and very helpful.
Thank You,
Michelle
