It still seems to work even w/ food spaniellove on "Prilosec - what form was it in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prilosec-what-form-was-it-in#post-1818662 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 19:18:41 +0000 spaniellove 1818662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs Green Grass: @BabyBoecksMom: Did that interfere with the directions saying that they had to have it on an empty stomach?

We switched to the dissolvable tabs because it was easier for us to give it - I break it into 4 pieces and give her each piece about a min apart so she swallows all of it.

Ped finally called and said that as a last resort we could put the Prilosec in formula but he's worried since J is taking so little of what's in his bottles and might not get the whole dose. So if he's not seeing an improvement by Monday he'll send us to a specialist.

It was not flavored.

Started at maybe 4 months and we are now trying to ween him off of it, so every other day now. Are you giving the whole syringe at once? In the beginning I had to let it set out for a bit and not be so cold, then give him a little bit at a time..even if it took 6 squirts just to get it in him. Once he got used to it he took it all in one squirt and as of this month he's decided he likes to spit it all out so we're back to giving him a a squirt, letting him swallow and then giving him another one or two to get it all in. His smells sort of grape-y, but tastes like butt. Luckily that means he takes any tylenol no problem because it's sweet! spaniellove on "Prilosec - what form was it in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prilosec-what-form-was-it-in#post-1818207 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:44:29 +0000 spaniellove 1818207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I put in a call this morning about the meds so when they called back I just told them everything. We'll see what they say! spaniellove on "Prilosec - what form was it in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prilosec-what-form-was-it-in#post-1818194 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:33:40 +0000 spaniellove 1818194@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Ms.Badger: I think they added a strawberry flavor to the Prilosec? Not sure he's a fan although he does like the grape Tylenol. He definitely doesn't like the taste of Zantac though he learned to tolerate that and didn't so much as make a face taking it. brownie on "Prilosec - what form was it in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prilosec-what-form-was-it-in#post-1818191 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:32:39 +0000 brownie 1818191@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We had little beads that we dissolved in water. We used <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Bottle-Medicine-Dispenser/dp/B0056S88AK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408123920&sr=8-1&keywords=medicine+bottle" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Safety-1st-Bottle-Medicine-Dispenser/dp/B0056S88AK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408123920&sr=8-1&keywords=medicine+bottle</a> to get him to drink it. Typically we would dose him in the middle of his nap (in the swing) and then when he woke up he could eat.

Some of those medicines taste really bad. With Lucas we had to try a few different kinds (brand name, different flavors etc) to find one he would tolerate. If it is a taste thing there are compounding pharmacies that can add different flavors for some meds. spaniellove on "Prilosec - what form was it in?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/prilosec-what-form-was-it-in#post-1818173 Fri, 15 Aug 2014 12:26:58 +0000 spaniellove 1818173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Was it a thick suspension that you drew up into a syringe? Or did you use solutabs? We were prescribed the suspension and although the syringe of Zantac was no problem, he is not accepting the Prilosec at all and spitting all of it out even though it's the same delivery method. I'm starting to think (given the feeding issues we're having now) he might have an oral aversion from 7 weeks of meds and all the medical procedures he's been through.
