Just wondering if corn would make Jackson's reflux worse? I gave him some sweetpotatoes/corn baby food today and he has been swallowing alot today, like he did before medicine, and I can tell that it is coming up.
Do you think that it could have been the corn????? He has never had it before.
Hmmm..... anyone have any ideas??

Corn is one of the foods to avoid due to the amount of Acidity in them!
I would assume it would be any corn?

Aha! Corn is acidic??? Hmmm.... that could be the culprit!
He also had Gerber corn puffs today. Too much corn I would say!

Yup, They say to avoid corn. That's probably the culprit. Hope He has a better night! Who would think that corn would be acidic? Wierd!

Corn is difficult to digest. Noah has done awful with corn products, but its hard to tell if it was the corn or just the fact that it was food. I'd avoid it. Corn isn't really all that great for you anyways.

I'd probably stay away from corn. Corn is just so hard on the digestive system. I just now started giving Cady smashed up corn in her mashed potatoes and she's 15 months old.

Isn't it strange w/it being hard to digest that they would put it in baby food at all???!!! Grrr.... still angry!

Emily, we stay away from any corn, including cheerios, corn syrup, starch etc...
I have worked that it makes Parker reflux bad, and the fact that it doesn't digest well keep him refluxing on it so we get a real bad reaction. Like 2 days of grief!

Same here, although corn syrup doesn't seem to bother him. Strange, but that day he was bad, he had "Corn puffs" the ones that melt in their mouth and sweetpotatoes and corn baby food. I think it was too much for his tummy to handle. He was burping and swallowing all day. Poor baby.
