First might I say, boy, I think it's no fair that the little guys get reflux too.
Having said that, I have severe GERD too, and IBS-A, which means I'm often between diarrhea and constipation. When I'm constipated, my GERD is so much worse. My doctor is sending me to a specialist who may perform the surgery-where they take some of your stomach and wrap it around your esophagus to give you a new sphincter(ring of muscle) there. Apparently it works well. I'm really hoping I qualify for it.
Now, for the C.... is it OK to get him some fiber into a milkshake or something? I make a smoothie of sorts, out of soy milk, soy protein powder, Metamucil and some fruit. It's delicious and that way I don't have to gag down fiber.
I'd think if he had his fiber in the form of smoothies like that, and you could get more liquid into him (I know, it's an uphill battle with reflux to get liquid in, I hate drinking.) Also if you tossed in another fruit into the blender that would be a sneaky way of getting it into him.
As far as bananas and apples go, they are soluble fiber, not INSOLUBLE, and insoluble might be what he needs more of. Does he have the apple skin? That's important. That would be an insoluble fiber source. Also any grains or cereals will help him out.
Let us know how little tiger does...I know how miserable it is, and I'm old enough to have the words to gripe about it. The little ones get the short stick.
