Finally, we think the medicine MIGHT just be helping Bryce. Three doses a day seems to help take the edge off the reflux or at least a little. He isn't screaming as much and is starting to sleep a bit better (isn't thrashing around as much but still wakes up often). Even once we started the tablet form of the Baclofen, Bryce had diarrhea (even with some blood) and was showing his normal intolerant signs of crankiness and coughing/choking. I thought for sure we were going to have to take him off the Baclofen.
Then we realized that we also started giving Bryce baby food carrots so he could take the tablet form of Baclofen. If he wanted more of the carrots when we gave him the medicine, I'd let him eat up to a 1/2 jar. So, we decided it might be the carrots causing the diarrhea (or at least we changed two variables at once so we weren't sure). So we cut back on the carrots and are giving him just enough to take the medicine. Good news is that the diarrhea has started to subside! Unfortunately,the rash on his tummy and chest remain but I'm praying it subsides soon also.
Keep praying and sending us those good vibes that the Baclofen will work!
