I am far from an expert and have no idea how universal these repercussions can be but from what she's said, for *him* it went something like:
Very bad reflux --> food aversion --> not eating/being very picky --> 1) weighing too little, 2) vitamin etc. deficiencies, 3) less advanced motor control of his facial muscles (from not chewing etc.) --> 1) a delay in speech development, 2) being much more vulnerable to becoming dangerously underweight when faced with illness.
Due to excellent parental vigilence, he was in various forms of occupational therapy starting very early, so the worst of it is mostly over.
If the reflux didn't result in food aversion for your boy, then he's probably (?) not at risk for the other things. (Again, *not* an expert.)
If you have more questions, thefourthvine is the one to talk to.
