    I still can't tell what the balls are? do you mean the pink coating??

    Maybe someone from WA can come to my house and show me, i'd be really grateful as i don't know if i'm doing it properly and so far no improvement

    I dont recall seeing any balls either. I think they are to small for naked eye perhaps.
    T, as long as you are getting the tablet into the syringe, dissolving it, and A is getting it down, then you are doing the right thing. If he is still throwing up after he has had it, then, it may take a little more time i guess.

    Hey MummaB

    Maybe put half a tab of the losec onto a plastic spoon (or maybe even on a serviette, just so you can see these little beads) and then put a very small drop of water onto it. You will then see the pink skin peel back by itself and then inside of this are a whole heap of little beads/balls that will separate. You don't need to crush it or anything, the tablets will fall apart by themselves when the water hits them.

    Let me know if you are still having troubles and maybe I could show you if you're still stuck.

    ETA..sorry Feeb didn't mean to repeat your earlier post!!

    Losec will not stop him from throwing up at all. It merely stops the body from developing stomach acid, so when they do throw up it doesn't hurt as there's no acid there. The vomitting will continue while on Losec, it only helps with the pain.

    I was more thinking that if he is throwing up after having the losec, he is throwing up the losec as well, so, therefore, not getting as much in IYKWIM?
