[QUOTE="Mamaof5, post: 387251"] y youngest is a GERD kid (gastro esophageal reflux disease). The best medication out there these days is a PPI or proton pump inhibitor (prilosec is a good one) and the best out of the PPIs is omperizole. Avoid H2 inhibitors with kids they tend to acclimate to the H2s fast (zantac is an example of histamine 2 blockers, blood based blocking medication rather than the PPIs which block the acid production within the stomach cells that produce the stomach acids). She could actually have esophageal damage that is causing problems in swallowing, eventually speaking, etc. Milk helps, it's a natural antacid. Chocolate on the other hand is something that will exacerbate the disease. Avoid these things: Coffee, tea, chocolate, onions, salt, sugars (especially things with aspartame and high fructose corn based sugars), red sauces, extremely spicy foods, oily based foods like fast foods and fatty foods. Foods that will help: ginger, garlic (in pill form), milk (in small quantities, larger quantities can exacerbate the disease), pre and pro biotics (yogurt with both can help). [/QUOTE]
