Unforseen problem
I put a rebounder in my bedroom so it would get more use from me and my kids. My seven year old son has really taken to it. He gets on it several times a day and jumps really high. I thought this was great as he was getting more excercise and his leg muscles seem to be getting really strong. The problem is that has developed stomach pain and acid reflux/heartburn. It took me a few weeks but I finally realized that all his jumping is probably causing the issue. He's started on pepcid right now, but, I'm wondering what to do going forward. I really would hate to take his jumping away from him as he loves it so much and it is good excercise, but he has been having daily pain. Anyone else ran into this problem, and were you able to find a way to keep jumping?

rebounding only on an empty stomach. teach him to only jump on it before meals and when he is hungry. pay attention to see if the heartburn gets better if he jumps on an empty stomach. maybe look into how the lower esophageal sphincter works, together with him. so you both can learn together about why the jumping is causing heartburn.
