WELCOME TO GERDLING MOMS

Do you have a little GERDling at home? Do you wish you had a stronger support system and close friends that understood? Do you wish you could help raise awareness and that your family and friends better understood what life with a refluxer or GERDling is really like?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then GERDling Moms is for you.

It is estimated that at least fifty percent of all newborns (up to 85% of premature babies) are born with some degree of reflux. While it's true that most of these babies outgrow their condition within the first few months of life and many do not require medical intervention for their reflux, there are a percentage who do not outgrow it and are really bothered by their reflux. There are also many who suffer dreadful complications and do not respond to even the most aggressive treatment.  Our kids are among these children.

They are suffering from the more serious condition called Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) and the complications include, but are certainly not limited to, severe food and oral aversions, long term tube feeding, weight loss, failure to thrive, esophagitis, asthma, wheezing, apnea, anemia, pneumonia, ALTE (apparent life threatening events), erosion of dental enamel, developmental and or speech delays and Barrett's esophagus (pre-cancerous condition).
