Both ended up on Prevacid, which was awesome once it kicked in. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013214 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 09:08:06 +0000 MapleMoose 2013214@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It didn't work for LO, but she was eventually diagnosed with food allergies so it wasn't the right remedy anyhow. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013128 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 07:20:42 +0000 Rocker2014 2013128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Major improvement in under a week. She's been on it for about 6 weeks now, still working great. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013092 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 03:38:06 +0000 twodoghouse 2013092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It worked for my DD but not for my DS. He ended up needing Prevacid. His reflux has always been worse than DD's. We gave it a week or two on Zantac before switching to Prevacid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013083 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 02:03:02 +0000 jape14 2013083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zantac started working for us in about 4-5 days, then worked for a week or so. Our ped upped the dosage but it didn't do much and we switched to omeprazole (Prilosec) within 2-3 weeks of starting Zantac. We've had to up the dosage of omeprazole once since starting it, but other than that it seems to help a lot! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013072 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 00:14:05 +0000 gingerbebe 2013072@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Zantac worked for month and then we had a major regression where it got insane and we switched to Prevacid. He's been a ton better since. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013069 Wed, 07 Jan 2015 00:11:32 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2013069@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Didn't work for us unfortunately, switched to Omeprazole, and I'm still not sure that it helps... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2013032 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 23:11:28 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 2013032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to switch to Prevacid also. If you don't see an improvement soon, ask to try something else! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2012973 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:32:46 +0000 blackbird 2012973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She got her dose on a Tuesday and never screamed again from it. The ped told us to give it a week I think? But it was within 24-48 hours we had major leaps and bounds success. We were able to drop the Zantac at 4 months or so </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2012967 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:29:06 +0000 Mrs. J 2012967@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like it helped, but bottles/nursing were still a bit of a process until he got bigger and grew out of the reflux more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2012937 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:03:57 +0000 Mrs. Garland 2012937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes! It made a huge difference for us, we could tell a definite difference on days where we forgot a dose. I don't remember exactly how long it took before we saw a difference, but if I remember correctly it was quick - just a couple of days! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2012936 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 22:03:19 +0000 Mae 2012936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It did not really work for us, LO was still refusing bottles after a week. We cut out dairy and soy and switched her to prevacid all at the same time and within 2 days she was eating willingly again. I think it was more the MSPI than the reflux meds... but I also feel like prevacid did better than zantac with the reflux because she was doing less hard swallowing/seeming uncomfortable than she was on zantac or before. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-your-lo-iswas-on-zantac-for-reflux#post-2012932 Tue, 06 Jan 2015 21:59:45 +0000 Meridian 2012932@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Did it work? If so, how long did it take to see results?</p> <p>We just got a prescription for Zantac for LOs silent reflux. He's been refusing his bottle lately and eating much less. just wondering how soon we might see results! </p>
