Zantac, Day 2

Luckily, we had another family, conveniently experienced with Zantac, over for lunch today. I had researched online that you should take it 30 to 60 minutes before eating, so it's first thing in the morning, and when we start to prepare dinner. I wanted to know how long to give it to work, though. Zantac doesn't cause the immediate improvement in appetite that we saw with Prevacid, so we're still trying to decide if it really helps. However, the encouraging signs are that Karston said his tummy felt good after lunch and after dinner, and Jen said it took about 10 days for her to see a real improvement in Tasha as an infant. The flip side is that Karston grabbed a juice box of Apple & Eve Very Berry at breakfast, started drinking, and then said the juice hurt his tummy. So Zantac isn't protecting him from juice, at least not yet. We're trying to keep him on diluted apple juice as the mild choice. Karston doesn't like plain water (yet) or milk (and dairy can be an irritant itself, just ask Cale). So I'll give Zantac two to three weeks.
