HELLO IM BACK! YEAH SHE DO VOMIT SOMETIMES, AND SHE HAVE HAD A BARREN SWALLOW BOUT 3 MONTHS AGO. ITLL SHOW IF HER FOOD IS GOING DOWN OR NOT. ALOT OF TIMES THEY NOTICE THAT HER ESOPHOGUS IS NARROW, THEN IF IT IS TIGHT THEY WILL DILATE IT.LAST TIME THEY DILATED HER THEY RAN INTO A PROBLEM WITH THE CATHLETER GOING DOWN.I JUST WANT HER TO BE NORMAL. SHE IS NORMAL, I MEAN EATING IN PUBLIC W OUT HAVING TO SPIT UP AND KIDS SAYING YUCK!

Hi, my son was born with TEF also. He's 3 and has 3 dilations. Our GI doc said that some kids need more dilations than others. But your daughter's symptoms are exactly the same as my son's when his esophagus has narrowed too much. I recommend getting another dilation procedure. Sometimes it takes a few before they work. Good luck to you! Christine www.sugarplumswank.blogspot.com
