A member asked:
My son two years old has ileostomy and acid reflux. i just start to feed him a little so what the best food for him that can help with acid reflux.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid reflux: With your young son, his acid reflux may not be diet related. It may be mechanical. I am glad you are concerned, the acid is painful for him. Small frequent meals with soft foods, (rice and oatmeal, puddings and soups) can help. Okay to see doc for medications to acid reduce. Okay to ask for surgery consult about the mechanical issue.
