My dd is having an endoscopy to see why she still has ongoing reflux at almost 3 years of age (will be 3 end sept). The gastro paed who is doing the surgery suspects allergic esophigitis. He thinks that she breast milk colitis as a young baby and this is what has/is causing her reflux as she is healthy is every other way. She complains of her tummy hurting (multiple times a day) and "yucky bits" in her throat. She has been on zantac, losec and now nexium to try and control the reflux and while it helps (esp with sleeping) it has only ever taken the edge off.

Iknow it is only day surgery and she will prob only be under the GA for about 20 mins but it still scares me as she is so young. What did you tell your child when they were going to hospital as I am scared this could traumatise her. When she wakes up what should I do? If she starts crying when they are prepping her what can I do to help. I am so anxious about it all, we really need some answers, so I know it is necessary to continue and try and get her healed.
