I don't have a any ideas to help you with giving him iron but my daughter (2.5years) is having her first endoscopy next friday as she still suffers from gastro reflux though we can't pinpoint what it is that is triggering it. Now she can talk she complains of "yucky bits" in her throat and "tummy hurts" We are hoping to get some answers about why she is still suffering at this age. When we saw the gastro aped he said he thinks her reflux is because she had a milk protein intolerance as a baby when I was breastfeeding (that is why my 11 week old son has started on neocate formula to try and prevent all of whats happened to my daughter with him). and now he thinks the reflux is allergic esophigitis or "EE". Shewas on zantac (which did nothing) then losec and now nexium - they have only ever taken the edge off the reflux for her. Are you in sydney? what doc do you see? Is iron deficiency common in reflux babies? My daughter has never had her iron tested (or any bloodiest for that matter) and she is a very fussy eater who doesn't really eat any meat.
