This is a reply to Rauscher [Phys. Rev. D 75, 068301 (2007)]. We studied heavy element production in the high baryon density region in the early universe [Phys. Rev. D 72, 123505 (2005)]. However, it is claimed by Rauscher [Phys. Rev. D 75, 068301 (2007)] that a small scale but high baryon density region contradicts observations for the light element abundance or, in order not to contradict the observations, the high density region must be so small that it cannot affect the present heavy element abundance. In this paper, we study big bang nucleosynthesis in the high baryon density region and show that in certain parameter spaces it is possible to produce enough of the heavy element without contradiction to cosmic microwave background and light element observations.
