zantec vs prilosec???

I have my LO on Zantec now. It seems to help with the burning but only for so long. I know it is not supposed to reduce the amount of spit up but it is possible that prilosec does. I know they say that spit up is a laundry problem as long as she is not in any pain, but it is so excessive! Any mom's out there have their LO on zantec and switched to prilosec? Did the prilosec help with the burn and reduce the amount of spit up?

YES it is a laundry problem and at almost 10 months, I'm STILL dealing with it! My son is a big time spitter and has been since day 1 but I never put him on meds because he wasn't in any pain. It was more annoying for me than anything else. What's the point in medicating at such a young age when it's normal for babies to spit up? Our doctor gave us the option to start meds but I didn't want to. I'd ask your pedi about this.

Have you done any sort of elimination diet to see if a food sensitivity could be causing the reflux? My DS is on Zantac for reflux but he may be able to go off of it soon because I'm pretty sure he's got a dairy intolerance that was causing it. He's EBF & I've been dairy-free for almost 2 weeks - his reflux episodes have decreased drastically. I'm hoping as I get farther & farther into being DF, he'll stop refluxing altogether. Until then, the Zantac keeps him comfortable, which is what is really important.
