My 8 year old son was recently diagnosed with acid reflux and started on Ranitidine twice daily. We've also changed his diet in accordance with the "GERD diet." He seems to be getting worse. He complains daily of terrible stomach pains, visits the school nurse frequently and sometimes doesn't even want to eat. This is now affecting his quality of life as we sometimes can't even go do something as simple as going to the park without getting there and having to leave because his stomach starts hurting so badly. (I should add, other than these stomach issues, he is a happy, bright, well adjusted child and anxiety issues have been ruled out.) I'm starting to get worried. Should I be?
