Our daughter was born 12 weeks early. She definitely has reflux. She doesn't spit up very often, but we know she is in pain and feels burning in her throat. She came home from the NICU on Prilosec and that had been doing pretty well until she gained weight. We had the medicine adjusted for her weight and it is helping a little but the reflux isn't as controlled as I'd like it. Does Prevacid work any better? When they first started her on medicine for reflux, they started with Prevacid and for some reason changed it.

She is also on Reglan, although not for reflux. It was prescribed for bowel motility. The pleasant side effect is that it does help with the reflux. So, any new medicine she goes on would have to "play nicely" with the Reglan; I WILL NOT consider taking her off of the Reglan. Any suggestions? ...or do you think Prevacid might just be the next thing to try?

She does not have any milk allergies and is on special formula because of her low birth weight. The formula is a 22 cal/oz. formula that we mix to make it 24 cal/oz.
