I for one rarely use rice cereal for reflux. Maybe in a 4 month
old formula fed refluxer I really don't want to treat.
Cisapride has potential to cause prolonged QT interval in the heart rhythm
so I rarelt use it.
For colicy refluxers I do like Maryelle Vonlanthen's approach of asking the
parents, "If I could wave a majic wand and make the
baby's reflux go away, would that make him better?" I haven't had a parent
tell me yes.
