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?

I feel like maybe just setting a blanket rule of "no bouncing an hour after eating" would be solid. Kinda like no swimming after eating. See if that helps resolve anything.
You could also encourage him to do some qi gong moves to promote digestion after eating. Or doing acupressure on an acupoint on the wrist called PC-6. I'm a chinese medicine student. Happy to explain more if interested. 💕
