Mixing Instructions For
Tummy Care Max®

These mixing instructions are to be used with any of your proton pump inhibitor medication choices and TummyCare Max® for treating infants with acid reflux or infant GERD.

Now that you've found us and you've decided to purchase our infant acid reflux buffer products, you'll need to know what to do next. There’s just a little bit of effort involved to giving your baby our buffer products and mixing them with your choice of PPI medications. But you definitely do not have to be a lab technician to compound your own buffer products right at home. By using the list of very easy to follow instructions that we've put together here, in no time you'll have a compounded suspension that will bring your baby relief from their infant acid reflux or infant GERD in a matter of minutes and without timing around feedings.

That's right! No more waiting to get your baby relief.

There are no limitations to the choice of proton pump inhibitors when mixing our infant acid buffer products with the PPI of your choice. Whether you're using an over the counter (OTC) or prescription (RX) PPI drug. It doesn't matter if it's a name brand product or the generic version. We have the solution and the instructions that fit your child's needs.

It's very important that you review the PPI Dosing Information page to assist you along the way. That information is extremely helpful in providing current PPI Dosing recommendations for infants based on the MARCI-KIDS dosing recommendations. Also, the dosing chart will assist you in choosing the correct instructions from the selection below for mixing your PPI drugs with our infant acid reflux buffer products, and at the concentration that is best suited for your baby or child. Age and weight are a factor but it’s very simple to figure out and you can always contact us if you have questions.

The PPI dosing information page along with any of the instructions below will give you a basic guide on titrating up (weaning up) your baby to the PPI drugs concentration needed to effectively treat you child's infant acid reflux.

It can also act as a bridge between parents and physicians to improve the treatment of acid reflux in infants and children. We encourage parents to read this information prior to using or implementing any of the mixing instructions below as well as discussing your treatment intentions with your pediatrician and showing them this site. Share the PPI dosing information page with your child's pediatrician or your families medical care provider team. We ALWAYS stress the importance of reviewing and discussing all infant acid reflux treatment intentions with your doctor.

For your convenience we have created a printable version in PDF form supporting these dosing recommendations for you to bring to your next doctors appointment.

LET'S GET STARTED!

Below are a list of links that lead to illustrated PDF, downloadable pages that will give you step by step instructions on how to use your starter kit and how to mix our products as needed with the PPI drugs in OTC or RX form, that you intend on using with our TummyCare Max®.

It is very important that you choose the exact type of PPI as well as the milligram (mg) and form of product (caps, tabs, solutab) because the mixing instructions vary depending on the each specific type, brand of PPI, the form in which it comes in and the amount of milligrams.

Finding your correct mixing instructions:

Step 1: If you purchased TummyCare Max®, go to the TummyCare Max® list of mixing instructions.

Step 2: Under the list of the brand of our infant acid reflux buffer product you've chosen you will see a list of PPI medications that are available for you to use, with the product. Such as Prilosec®, Prevacid® Zegerid®, omeprazole, etcetera. Match the PPI medication that you plan to use to the directions listed.

Step 3: Check to see you've chosen the correct amount of milligrams (mg), that applies to the PPI you intend to combine with our infant acid reflux buffer products. For instance; do you plan on using your PPI medication in 10mg, a 15mg or a 20mg?

Step 4: Make sure the form in which your PPI comes in matches the instructions that you are choosing. Such as capsules, tablets, solu-tabs, etcetera.

Step 5: Once you've found the link that applies to your combination of PPI drugs, click on that link and a separate browser window will open that will allow you to download the PDF formatted file. You can either save that file to your computer by going to "file, save as" or you can print it out from the window that opens up. In addition you can access this page from anywhere there is a computer and internet access to retrieve your mixing instructions for future use.

Step 6: If you need a coffee grinder (which you will need for any of the instructions below) you can purchase them directly from the site here.

At some point during your baby's recovery from infant acid reflux you will begin weaning your baby off of the PPI medications as well as our products. As the dosing levels change you'll need to return here to retrieve the correct instructions.

If you don't see your EXACT combination listed here, send us an email and we will send you the instructions for that combination and add it to this page for others to use.

TummyCare Max® Mixing Instructions:

If for any reason you change your proton pump inhibitor, the form it comes in or the milligram dose, it is very important that you return to this page and get new instructions.

Note: The doses recommended in the mixing instructions and on the PPI dosing chart are not recommended by any proton pump inhibitor manufacturer or distribution company. These recommendations are representative of typical dosing used at Marci-kids and the research done by Dr. Jeffrey Phillips and Dr. Marcella Bothwell and have been proven to be effective in most cases.
