This makes no sense...

Its only day 2 on Prevacid, much too early to see a difference, right?

The last two days Arianna has been eating noticeably better and much more happy and social!

I am very happy but also very mad that her pediatrician gave us such a run around trying to put her on Prevacid. It's obvious the Axid was doing close to NOTHING for her if after only 2 days on something new she is so much better!

I think you can feel relief in that time period; I remember that the prilosec capsules made a pretty decent difference fast (but of course nothing but nothing has taken away the reflux entirely in our case)

Unbelievable how fast we've noticed a difference... I'm really surprised.

It would be nice if SOMETHING could make the affects of reflux nonexistent until growth eliminates it all together huh?

ya, wishful thinking I know :(

Heck, my father has dealt with reflux and hernias his entire life. It wasn't until he turned 40 that he got relief (from prevacid none the less). He went from eating mostly ice cream (cause it 'felt good' on his throat) to eating anything he wanted. The wanted/unwanted side effect for him was gaining close to 80 lbs. and going from sickly thin to 'regular middle age overweight'.

So I guess I can't get 'too mad' as its fairly new that they're actually doing something about reflux.
