What Causes Worsening Reflux Despite Following A Healthy Diet?

Hello, my daughter is 2 years old since birth she has been in anti acids for reflux. She has been tested for celiac disease which come back negative but doctors think she may still have a wheat allergy she is also off dairy products she has been since a baby. Been of wheat for 3 months now and her stomach is still bloated and every so often she vomits . He tests showed that she has inflammation in the bowel and she is iron. Am really worried about her still getting reflux could it be the case they should be looking at this instead of trying food out her diet?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.

Reflux in the childhood may be physiological for some period.Slowly it will get covered on its own.

If it still persists get an endoscope to rule out any hiatal hernia.It is a condition in which sliding of stomach in to the chest and will cause acid reflux.

Try to avoid gluten free diet for few days to rule out gluten sensitivity.

Give small and frequent food. Give plenty of water.

If constipation and mucous discharge present along with bloating consult a pediatric surgeon.
