my 6 month old some has suspected GERD, he is on Enfamil thickened formula and I have tried soya but still vomits 15 + times a day. He has been prescribed Zantac but 30 sec after I administer the dose he vomits it up. He is gaining weight adequately but I am concerned with esophageal damage. What or who should I be see regarding this problem. My family doctor has been of little help.
