to all of you suffering through this with your littlies.
Mikis mum I can only imagine who awful it must have been to deal with you daughter having a GES done I know I was bad enough having mine done and I am a grownup!! I also have Gastroparesis so I can fully sympathise with what you are dealing with. Theresa, if motilium is working so well for Georgie it suggests to me that her issues may be delayed emptying as much as reflux especially when I remember your post after the Brissy trip saying that they found no oesophgeal damage.
Motilium is a motility drug, Losec is a PPI or anti reflux drug so d different things. If the Losec didn't help maybe Reflux isn't the big issue. I dunno cos I am no doctor just doesn't gel with me that's all IYKWIM.
Some suggestions which you probably already know anyways but GP or DGE has certain dietary things that can sometimes help.
I know they say give lots of fresh fruit and vegies to kids but for GP these types of foods are the hardest to digest and cause the most discomfort, pain and nausea to a sufferer. The best types of foods are ones that are more processed, mushed up, cooked, etc. Avoid fibrous foods and grains, they can accumulate in the gut and form bezoars (think furball!). If you need to up calories use simple sugary foods..fat slows digestion further so anything fatty, creamy etc might not be so good. I know many many adults with GP who actually live on baby food but they are at the severe end of the spectrum.
If you google gastroparesis you will find a whole heap of info on things you can do to make the digestive process easier to handle. For myself I know that I cook all my vegies don't eat a lot of fruit unless stewed etc, eat little red meat (mince is not too bad) and I can get away with eating things like biscuits etc for the easily digested calories.
Anyways tell me to butt out if I am being a sticky beak....hehehehe...Ijust feel so much for your little ones cos I know how painful it can be for me at times.
