Cheryl asked me to pop in and let you know about Erythromycin. Does your daughter have known delayed gastric emptying? Jarrett(my son) does and we've been on Reglan in the past with no relief. He was put on Erthromycin about 2 months ago and it helped alot for about a month. We saw no side effects from it, it just seemed to stop working. We have now gone back to Reglan and although there is a ton of horror stories related to it, we've had no effects and it's working great. He still is refluxing, but he's not complianing everyday like before. It's a very small dose of Erthro they use, so it's not like your giving an antibioitc type dose. I say start there and see what happens. Keep in mind, there are success stories on Reglan, if you go into it knowing all the side effects and what to watch for. Good luck. Keep us posted.

As I further understand it is a motility drug used at lower doses than antibiotic dose and that helps speed things up.
