Another question... Losec

When i say not AS bad I mean, she stills hollers for hours on end but instead of it being every day it is only two or three times a week. She is still the crappest sleeper but that may be habit now?

She still seems uncomfortable, just not as bad as she used to?

Am I making any sense?!

Thanks Maria!!

It is so frustrating 'cause the doctor on Monday basically told me it is not worth trying to take diary, wheat or gluten out of her diet! It has never been suggested to me that it oculd be allergies or food intolerances, I only came to that conclusion cause I am getting desperate!

Perhaps it is time I went on the hunt for yet another doctor to help me!

Is there a dairy free formula available from the supermarket?

Hi Anna. Does she have any other symptoms of allergy e.g. ezcema, funny stools etc?

You could consider getting an allergy / intolerance test done by a naturopath. Rebekah Paddy from Mother-well is excellent. A cranial osteopath would also be a good idea...Elle improved a bit after seeing one (she is still unsettled and prone to tears but she is not as tense and no longer holds her fists clenched etc).

My girl sounds a lot like yours. We too tried a number of reflux meds but none really helped so we still don't really know if reflux is an issue or not. She also has patches of inconsolable crying but our osteo etc thinks it's migraine headaches which run in the family. We've tried many many many avenues with our girl but it looks like it is just some odd combo if minor discomforts (not sure what) + temperament and hence we just have to wait it out and she will eventually come right - that is what they say anyway. I have known a few little ones who are similar and they seem to get a lot better once they are on their feet walking.

Keep perservering though as it is definately worth pursuing every possible avenue with doctors etc to ensure there is nothing "medical" that can be helped.

Hugs!

it sounds to me like your doctor is using silent reflux as a cop out excuse for not knowing what is going on....in reading a lot on here and other sites it seems like silent reflux is becoming more common and in some cases may be a wy of giving mums an answer to make them go away and think they know what is wrong with their child....same as ADD was a few years back etc....

can you see another doc or pediatrician etc???
