Can gerd causes UTI's in young children or babies?


my 15 month old son's doc says that kids with GERD are prone to UTI's and has ordered a VCUG and a renal ultrasound....

No. I don't think so.

Has he been getting recurring UTIs? I have never heard of a link between GERD and UTIs. I also think VCUGs were only for kids who had been getting persistent UTIs so I wouldn't get it done unless that's his situation.

I think you need to get a second opinion.
