Chronic Hiccups and Acid Reflux?

Acid reflux meds / gas?

  • My baby was diagnosed with acid reflux due to fussiness during the day when we laid him down etc. He mostly slept good at night though. The doctor said he had acid reflux due to the fussiness, hiccups, and refusal to take naps etc. Ever since we put him on the medicine she prescribed he is better during the day but has terrible gas at night and will not sleep for more than an hour without our help relieving his gas (he used to sleep about 5 hours at a time at night). We stopped the meds and the gas seemed better but his acid reflux like symptoms returned. Does anyone have experience with acid reflux meds CAUSING gas?

  • Answer:

    Have you tried giving him gas medicine along with the reflux medicine? I would run it by your pediatrician, but I would think it is more important to control the reflux than control the gas.

I don't know how old your son Is but my son was on the meds when he was a little over a year old. He didn't have problems with gas on it. I guess every baby is different. I would consult the doctor about it and see if maybe there is another med you could try on him.
