If Michael had a modified barium swallowing to assess the efficiency and

another by someone who specialises in eating assessments.

This was done after his EA/TEFistula repair was done. They wanted to make
sure nothing "leaked" and I could start feedings. It was then that they said
they also saw reflux and put him on Reglan and zantac. I researched Reglan
and did not like what I found so I asked that he be taken off it and the Dr.
had no problem with it but they are fighting me on taking him off the zantac.
My concern is that they determined his reflux from doing a barium swallow
lying down.
