hello.
i'm pretty sure my son has reflux again but I just want to know if anyone else has been in this position.
my son had reflux when he was born. had a great health center lady who picked it up (was silent reflux)
we put him on medication, within 24 hours we had a baby that slept and didn't cry all day and night! (YAY)
after about a month or 2 we slowly took him off meds and his been good ever since.
But over the last week, his been having little spews, not like him at all, not much not even a quarter of a cup. probably a mouthful for him though.
any advice would be apriciated.

It may just be a tummy bug there are loads going round atm so hoepfully thats all it is BUT at the same time yes it is possible for the reflux to flare back up !

If you feel thats what the problem is then i would suggest looking at his diet in regards to whether he has had something different that he hasnt had before or whether he has over indulged in one particular type of food.

Dairy, wheat &/ or gluten & citrus tend to be main offenders.

So you can always try cutting out some foods for around the 2wk mark as it takes about this time to totally leave your system & then go from there if there is an improvement or not. If there is an improvement you are best to seek medical advice because obviously you will need to make sure your little guy recieves all his nutrients through other means.

Good luck !
