I'm not sure, but bumping!
Sorry to hear he might be suffering with reflux.

Mine had acid reflux, vomited a lot--way past sitting up, and it was caused by a posterior tongue tie and lip tie--have you had your LO checked for tongue tie? My DD's fussiness/ colic and trouble gaining (that only started around 5 months) were all part of it, and the reflux (and all associated issues) resolved entirely once her ties were revised. I've posted at greater length on a few threads here on HelloBee if you're curious about more info. I always urge parents of kiddos with acid reflux to just get checked for ties because they're super common, and really quite easy to treat, and SO worth treating if they have them. Be careful to have someone who knows what they're looking for check though--we had 3 peds. tell us she was fine and just had reflux, and proceeded to up her dose of Zantac every time, until we found someone who specialized in diagnosing all ties, not just the super obvious front of the tongue ties, to diagnose our daughter's. Best of luck to you and your LO no matter the cause--I hope you get some answers and some helpful treatment. xoxo.

@Mrs. Tricycle: yes, she said the constant vomiting/spit-up made solids stressful. she was still traumatized when she had her second LO and didn't start him on purees until he was almost a year old! he had purees for 2 weeks then transitioned to solids.

hope you are able to get some good information from the gastroenterologist, and that they'll be able to do something for trikester (zantac, fixing any ties, etc.) that help him feel better!

I missed this, we were diagnosed with AR very early, however when we introduced solids it became projectile instead of just spit up. We went through several tests, 2 Upper GIs, scope, and a flex sig.

At 7 months it was discovered she still has a bad case of AR, at 8 months it was discovered that she has EE (eosinophilic esophagitis) which is triggered by certain food and allergies. Her vomitting was actually from EE not the AR. We have her on a couple different medicines to see if it helps. This was diagnosed by a pediatric GI. If you have any questions let me know, I'm a researching fool when it comes to FRIES, EE, and other allergy/vomiting issues/diseases.

We kept a notebook of everything she ate to try and pinpoint a trigger (we still haven't compeltely figured it out but learned a few things.) We found that baby yogurt, was a huge no for us, but cheese was fine (she's not allergic to milk we had her tested) And a few mixes didn't work, now that we have moved to finger foods over purees she seems to be getting better, it's crazy. We still haven't been able to find her "true triggers" but writing everything down does help to see if you find a pattern (with apples or carrots, ect.)
