You know this means he can't have that glass of wine and cigar after dinner. Just kidding!!
The doctor tried to give me something for my GURD. It upset my stomach more and gave me headaches. I went off it immediately and began drinking raw vinegar with honey in a glass of water. It cured my GURD. I say this just in case.
Our daughter was diagnosed with this at age 22 mos., and it was so bad that at one point the doctor wanted us to consider surgery...they tighten the bottom of the esophagus...but when they told us she would never be able to throw up (something we thought would be awful if she was really sick and needed to empty her stomach), we decided against it.
She has pretty much outgrown the problem, other than the ability to out-burp everyone in the family!! BTW - she also had terrible asthma, and they said the GURD was aggravating it. She vomited a LOT and I guess some of the vomit was getting into her lungs. It was scary, but she is fine now.

July he went to the dr for his check up ....dr was concerned he lost weight 3 lbs at that time ......dr suggest giving him ensure - he says its YUK Milk
he is bruising and the bruises Do not go away
Last night I offered candy - he said no thanks
this is a child that normally would eat carrots for a snack ate very well and all at once just stopped eating
This is my grandson ........and my daughter in law is calling the doctor when they open today. I do understand children go through fazes - I think this is more than a faze ....... hes wore out hes tired his eyes have dark circles ...
I had him in Walmart in the toy isle and put him down and said what do you want to look at ....... he wanted to be held and laid his head down - this child LOVES monster trucks and would of been all over it ....... nothing not even interested acted to tired to care!
(I am a early childhood educator as well ..so I have seen picky)
He has asthma and I suggested to do a treatment last night ...... he has a little cough ......
Milk from a cow is hardly a health food and candy is even worse! I would go to a health food store and try to find some Odwalla juice that has sea veggies and juiced green veggies but is mixed into fruit juice that tastes mostly like Orange Juice. In the mean time make sure he eats NO SNACKS between meals.
My sister was shoving snacks at my nephew when he was 2.5 years old and then she would get all stressed out that he wasn't eating at meal time. It turned out he just WAS NOT HUNGRY. You also have to give your child REAL FOOD NOT JUNK. It probably would not be the end of the world if you just let your child fast for a while giving him only water for a half a day or a day. Then when he is hungry give him only REAL VEGETABLES and occasionally a fruit.
STAY AWAY FROM COOKIES, SWEETS< ICE CREAM, CANDY and PRESERVATIVES in commercial foods. Give your child everything HOME MADE - NO MIXES.
In the meantime get in touch with the nearest experienced Naturopathic Doctor (NOT ANOTHER MEDICAL DOCTOR as they are clueless about diet and health). In the meantime, these people are excellent and have been curing so called "incurable diseases" for 25 years and will set up a phone appt with you if you can't find a good naturopath in your area. At the very least you can send them a message about your child and in a week or so they will get back to you with an answer and not charge you anything, or you can call into their radio show and ask a question which would also be free. I'm sure they would need more time that an appointment would provide(they spend nearly an hour with you) but calling into the show or emailing would be a start.
Oh yeah, one more thing: my daughter also ended up having a milk allergy which was causing her asthma (NOT lactose intolerance). She improved dramatically as soon as she was off all milk products--including anything that had milk products (like whey and sodium caseinate) in it.
Oh! Yeah;
Had some problems with our grand and GERD, all sorts of things were triggers; milk allergies etc. With toddlers, I prefer to get a physicians advice, since they are in the developmental stages of life. I am mostly tempted at times to go natural or suggest it to the parents.. But Id rather not take the risk of misdiagnosis when it comes to their health.
