Our son has had his G-tube for over a year. The first 3 months went really well. Then he stopped tolerating the 2 cans he was getting overnight, so we had to cut back to 1.5 cans.

I was interested to see that Flagyl is listed as a drug used to treat bacterial overgrowth... http://emedicine.medscape.com/article/212861-medication#2 Augmentin is also listed. Bactrim is not, perhaps it was used in our case as a first "safe" approach. Our GI doc said some patients benefit...

Everyone pressured me to get our son off the bottle at 12 months old. I wish I hadn't listened. He was gaining ok while on the bottle, but it was downhill after that. I assume you are already mixing the formula thicker for added calories. When your daughter is 12 months, talk to your...
