We had HEAPS of troubles getting Riley to take his Losec (reflux) mediciation too... It's a tablet that we dissolve in water then we use an eye dropper to suck it up and put into his mouth. For the first 3 months or so he would spit it out or spew it up...but now he takes it without too much hassle.
Anyway, our best way to get him to keep it down was to 'massage' his throat as we were giving it to him (it took 2 of us)...we sometimes also had to distract him with noises and funny faces as well, so that he didn't realise he was taking the medication. It was hard work but the medication worked well so we kept it up (and our lives have been so much easier since Losec).
PS I also agree that reflux is under diagnosed...it took us over 3 months before we could get Riley diagnosed (after asking every time we saw the nurses/doctors etc) and it took me breaking down in tears before the doctor agreed with us...
