Question Title: 19 month old with Erosive Esophagitis

Forum: The Maternal and Child Health Forum
Topic: Childhood Disease

: 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
