A word about Prevacid

Auggie had been on Prevacid for almost 6 months and vomiting 3-6 times daily.  Our new doctor told us to stop the Prevacid and lo and behold the vomiting has gone down to maybe 1-2 times a day!!  I am angry because I didn't think to ask if the Prevacid might be causing the vomiting .  The doctors make you so afraid of that nasty stomach acid.  However, it does not bother all babies and if the actual disorder is EE (eosinophilic esophagitis) and not true GERD then the Prevacid does not help anyway.  So, 6 months later we have extreme oral aversion due to excessive vomiting, refusal to nurse, and extremely tube dependent.  So, if your baby is on Prevacid and vomiting, ask your doctor about trying a different medication or going without.
