Stomach ache/Gerd Continued........

It truly sounds like he needs some anxiety meds to help him stay calmer. Working yourself up to this sort of high level makes the stomach acid churn even more.

I'd ask the school psychologist if he'd/she'd do some in class observations to see if kiddo is in need of help. It may be he's struggling with something at school and it's escalating to him becoming more dependent on you and therefore when you're not there he's in extreme distress.

I have GERD and take Prilosac. Usually just one capsule a day works. When it doesn't the doctor said to take two. One in the morning and one before bed.

I think I responded to your orig. post as well. Just b/c he tests neg. for celiac does not mean he is not gluten sensitive. My son was scoped when he had reflux and stomach issues and they said nope, not celiac, he can eat all the pizza he wants. So he continued to suffer for years until he was tested and came back positive for gluten soy and dairy sensitivity. IF you do not want to get him tested, at least try to remove the common sensitivity foods from his diet for 2 weeks, and see how he feels. In the meantime braggs apple cider vinegar-one Tablespoon in water 3 times a day also works great for gerd. My son's gerd issues were resolved and never had to take any meds.

I have bad acid reflux. I go to bed with it and wake up with it ( while having pulls in my system - Omeprozole. I saw my GI dr a few weeks ago because it was worse. The burning is horrid. It is Phuket tasting and sometimes painful. My dr took an X-ray of my stomach and said my colon was full and pushing up causing the reflux to be worse. He put me in Myralax to get the stool out a few times a week. I am also inquiring about food allergies to see if soy is a problem for me after all these years I am thinking I have more than outdoor allergies and when I mentioned the severe heartburn the GI dr asked if I had any food allergies.
