my 15 month old son has extreme episodes of acid reflux and I'm wondering what foods/drinks to give him.?

Best Tip

Acid reflux can be a body's response to a food intolerance or allergen. I would take the following steps:

1. Keep a food diary - what are you feeding him and when? Note when he has the acid reflux attacks.

2. Take the food diary to your pediatrician. At 15 months, it's may be dangerous to start restricting things (aside from Twizzlers and junk food) from an otherwise healthy child, so you'll want to be under the care of a physician (although tomatoes will really cause acid reflux, so maybe avoid those!!)

3. Work with the pediatrician to discover what exactly is causing the Acid Reflux.

For instance, I have a disease called Celiac's Disease, an intolerance of gluten (found in wheat, barley, rye - which in turn is in a lot of medicines, sauces etc... - so your son might be ingesting gluten without knowing it). If I get gluten in me, you can be SURE the acid reflux will keep me up all night long.

If your son has a food allergy or intolerance that is causing the acid reflux, it can be as simple as crafting a diet to suit his dietary needs.

FYI - about 1 in 150 people have a gluten intolerance, so it's not weird or out there. It's a pretty natural thing, as is lactose intolerance or soy allergies. Source(s): A lot of sleepless acid reflux filled nights

give foods and drinks with no acid ..some fruits have acid and a lot of juices do also..
At 15 months, I would not restrict what you give him, but I would restrict how much. Frequent small amounts are much better than fewer large amounts. Also make sure he remains upright after ingesting anything for at least thirty minutes.
RN
do not give any juices unless it is watered down, my children had it, also, and they put them on liquid medicine, do not give anything that has acid in it
Nothing greasy. Try not to give him pizza or chips often. Maybe baked Potatoes?
