My child is 7yrs. old and was diagnosed with acid reflux at infancy. Dealing with this for 7 yrs. has been extremely stressful. She has been on every medication possible now taking nexium with absolutely no relief. We have had every test done with no helpful results. The only abnormal result we have found was my daughter has erosion at the bottom of her esophogus. Her pediatrician wants to re-run all the tests using new doctors. I feel like we are getting the run around!! She vomits on a daily basis even with eating the proper foods. One of her symptoms have become worse though. When this kid belches she could put a grown man to shame. The doctor is now telling me he thinks her acid reflux is psycological!! There is absolutely no gain for her to be vomiting every day and dealing with all the pains!! She hates it. She cries from the pain. She has even asked when she is going to not have acid reflux anymore. Any body have ideas?

You need to go to another doctor that will actually listen. If there are erosions in your child's esophagus then that proves she has reflux. I've been to a doc for reflux and he gave me 3 different brands of drugs to try. You test them out then see what works best for you. If none of them work well then they'll give you more to try. If Nexium isn't working then they need to give your daughter something else to try. I have GERD. I get reflux from just drinking water. I personally got tired of taking prescribed drugs since they weren't working that well and the doc said I would probably have to take them the rest of my life. I don't think so. I went to health store and looked in the digestive section. There are a ton of products to try. I picked one off the shelf and it works just fine. I just take this natural supplement after every meal and it works fine. First off go back to the doctor and insist on trying something different. Also try a health store and look around. There are so many products to try.
