I never realized that acid reflux could affect children as well as adults. Children have a hard time explaining how they feel, so it may be hard to figure it out. When acid reflux is found in babies and young children, you as a parent may feel you should be able to do something to protect them. One family had two children who both are inflicted from birth with the ailment, and the parents found it tough to accept with their first child. The parents of course never wanted any of their children to have any pain. The concern is what medications to use or try to find a natural cure first. There are several medications that should be able to provide relief, but there are other ways that may help as well. The child's pediatrician informed the family of how common this diagnose is and gave them suggestions on the best way to treat the children.
The last thing on earth you really want to hear is that your child has some sort of illness, but once you do you must do your research.
The acid burns and causes indigestion as it starts to rise back up. This happens when the muscles at the base of the esophagus don't effectively hold your stomach content down. Babies suffer from this quite often, because their muscles haven't fully developed and are actually not strong enough for the job. Most often their symptoms can appear after eating or when they are laying down. Possibly even going off their food, regular vomiting after feeding, crying and aching their back in pain are common signs that your child may have acid reflux.
Sometimes medication may be needed for babies who have acid reflux. Just a couple of drops of Mylanta in a dropper, cabn be a good first step. A prescription may be needed if the natural remedies don't work. Children end up feeling almost instant relief when taking acid reducing medications, such as Zantac and Prevacid. These medicine are produced for children. Only use medicine that has been advised by your physician.
A prescription for Prevacid and a small doses of Mylanta in a lot of cases normally did the trick in most children. Mylanta is great for relieving signs of indigestion like acid burping, mild spit ups and chest pain. Which can be ordered without a prescription and has a smooth and easing effect in the esophagus and lining of the stomach. When reducing the production of stomach acid to almost none, Prevacid works fast from the time it hits your child's mouth. No side effects whatsoever, Both of the children outgrew their acid reflux by the time they were 12 months, and have keep up their good health since. The children had a better dispositions, they had vomit less, ate better and slept through the night. The whole family experienced relief, as soon as their children conditions were diagnosed and prescribed medicines were administrated.

Why Does Acid Reflux Happen?
So you have heartburn, acid reflux, gerd or whatever you want to call it...I call it painful.
You might want to try natural remedies first.
There are four natural remedies that might be used to maintain balance of acid in your stomach. One of the four is cinnamon. Cinnamon is commonly used of course in or on baked goods, but cinnamon is used as a natural medical remedy as well. Studies show that it has an antiseptic effect and is used for colds and flu's. It works well for settling an upset stomach, plus it has amazing fighting power against Candida albicans.
Let's look at how cinnamon is used to help settle heartburn and ab acid stomach: You may toast a slice of raisin bread to begin with. Add just a tiny bit of butter to the raisin bread. Next you would sprinkle cinnamon onto the bread. Then just a tad bit of cardamom on the bread as well.
Once you take a bite of this toasted bread, completely chew the toast before you swallow it. This may help the digestive juices begin breaking down the solid food you are eating. A combination of cinnamon and honey (2 tablespoons of honey sprinkled with cinnamon) has been known to be effective.
Cardamon is grown in India and has been treating Celiac diseases. This is found in all types of breads and aids with the glutens.
Grapefruit skins is also considered a natural remedy. You need to only use organic grapefruits, and its a wonderful way to control your acid reflux stomach. Here's how its done. Take your organic grapefruit and grate the whole outer skin. Than you have to let them air dry on a level surface. They need to get to a crinkly dry level. Place them either in a zip lock bag or a glass jar.
Once your upset stomach, heartburn or acid reflux bothers you, try chewing on the dried grapefruit strips. This process should fix your stomach. But you only need to eat a small amount to see if its the perfect remedy for you.
Another natural remedy is Romaine lettuce. Did you know that Romaine lettuce has the ability to erase heartburn and acid reflux. Romaine lettuce contains high alkaline and its high in minerals. Here's how it works to settle your upset stomach. You will need to get an organic head of the Romaine lettuce. Make sure you have cleaned it with distilled water. Chop up a couple of the leaves and throw them in a electric blender. Then you want to have it some what slurry, you will need to add cold distilled water. You might want to put just a tad bit of honey in the mixture, to add taste. A suggested serving of 4-8 oz glass to treat your acid reflux or sour stomach.
Slippery elm, Nutmeg and Mace are also natural remedies used to help settle an upset stomach. Using nutmeg and mace have proven throughout studies to treat vomiting, stomach gas, heartburn, acid reflux, and of course indigestion. Let your herbal combination sit and cool before consuming 1/2 cup at a time. Refrigerate any unused mixture to preserve it's shelf life. The next cup that you need to drink, make sure you heat it up. So try all four of these natural remedies. If you follow the instructions properly, you should receive the relief you have to have. Because heartburn and acid reflux require alkaline to provide relief.
