Chronic GI Pain
Question
My son has esophagitis, gastritis, and poor motility of bowels. He no longer eats his soft diet because it causes so much pain that he becomes self-injurious. He had little improvement with a Nissen Fundoplication and G-tube. As he has gotten older, the GI problems have become more severe.

Does he still have esophagitis? Without more data the only suggestion I have is to put a pH probe in his stomach (beside the G-tube) and run it for 24 hours on his Prevacid. We have had a number of people with CdLS with remarkably poor acid control on what should be a correct dose of Prevacid. If the pH is low, I would give more frequent or larger doses of Prevacid until the pH showed he is neutral most of the time.
