This particular medication can also cause the patient to have symptoms similar to Parkinson s disease. This is what happened in my son s case. The most commonly done is the nissen or the fundoplication. During this surgery a valve is created at the top of the stomach by wrapping a part of the stomach around the esophagus. However, it may not be successful in children with other digestive problems.
Reflux can be anything from a nuisance to a nightmare.
For my daughter it meant a few changes in lifestyle. To my son it has been a nightmare that continues to this day. We have changed his diet and his lifestyle. He has tried many medications and nothing seemed to work. About a year ago it was decided that my son would have a fundoplication done.
