Bonni - We just completed our first week of tapering off the Prevacid. So far ...so good. She got it 3 days in a row and then one day without. We then repeated the 3 days on and 1 day off. Next week, we will do a two and one schedule.


We are still avoiding dairy, wheat, and peanuts, doing probiotics, chiro 3 times a week, and CST once a month.
After we get Natalie off her reflux meds, I want to do another trial with wheat or dairy. If she doesn't pass, then we'll look into the digestive enzymes. I did an amazon search for books on the topic in preparation.
Oh - and one other side effect of the chiro, Natalie has gained weight, a lot of weight in the last couple of months. I can't say for sure how much because our scale isn't working so great, but I can say that it's at least 1.5 pounds ( for her age of 26 months, that's a lot). she may have actually gained more than this. Anyway, I'm guessing that the scope she had done a year ago that was inconclusive should have shown that she wasn't digesting her food properly. I'm guessing that she's now getting more of the calories into her. At her 2 year appointment, she was 23.5 pounds. Now, I'm guessing that she's 25 or 26 pounds. That's a huge gain on the growth charts.
So, for those having trouble gaining weight despite eating well, you could try a pediatric chiro as well as the other things that you are doing.
