The July 22nd Wall Street Journal "Health Journal" by Melinda Beck described how some babies with colic may actually have undiagnosed gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and can be helped with acid-blocking drugs.

I was especially interested in this article because I take Prevacid and one of my children had to start taking Prevacid as a teen. So apparently GERD can start even earlier.

If you know of babies who seem to be really miserable -- crying for hours on end, etc., it may make sense to consider this possibility.
