Hey thesaff we tried gaviscon for a week then went onto ranitideen and it has made all the difference I hope you are successful in getting it as I find it easier to give to DD and more effective.]]> Sat, 10 Apr 2010 21:34:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=992772&title=gaviscon#992772 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991990&title=gaviscon#991990 Author: luvmylittlies

Thanks everyone. She did have a better day today after 2 days of the gaviscon 6x/day. Will still head back to the docs though to get the ranitidine or losec if I can convince the Dr to prescribe it.]]> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 17:19:08 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991990&title=gaviscon#991990 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991730&title=gaviscon#991730 Author: MARY

Hi, my baby boy had silent reflux and he was on gaviscon up to six times a day, because I was breastfeeding, until we could see the specialist to get him on ranitidine. The gaviscon did work from the first time he had it, but it was a nightmare getting it into him, and I lived in fear of him missing a dose. We were reluctant to put him on ranitidine, but within three days of him taking it I took him off the gaviscon and he became a "textbook" sleeping baby.   

I absolutely feel for you, it broke my heart to see my little boy in pain, even when he slept. Don't give up on the gaviscon, it will work -- however, if ranitidine is an option for you, I recommend you don't hesitate to try it. My son is now 19 months old and he is still on ranitidine -- but I will slowly take him off it soon.

Hope this helps.]]> Fri, 09 Apr 2010 11:54:48 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991730&title=gaviscon#991730 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991286&title=gaviscon#991286 Author: mummymonster

His first dose was in his before bed bottle, and he had the best sleep ever that night (at that point in time IYKWIM)

Gaviscon is my DSs drug of choice.   Dr tried to move him on to randitadine (sp) but it didn't work for him. He needs it in every bottle. At the beginning that was 5 1/2 a day, now it's 4.]]> Thu, 08 Apr 2010 20:04:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991286&title=gaviscon#991286 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991087&title=gaviscon#991087 Author: littlestar

Took a couple of doses to see an improvement but then after a couple of days he was all bunged up. We moved onto Losec instead.]]> Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:47:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991087&title=gaviscon#991087 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991065&title=gaviscon#991065 Author: AandCsmum

Oh but anything less that the 6 doses a day didn't work for us, but I think we have a severe case of silent reflux cause he's still on Losec now.]]> Thu, 08 Apr 2010 16:31:22 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=991065&title=gaviscon#991065 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=32721&PID=990976&title=gaviscon#990976 Author: MamaT
