Hi Cheryl, Ditto to Sarah, but would love Cheryl's advice! Cheryl, what meds is your son on? My three year old has eosinophilia too, but eats like a horse so no probs, just a restricted diet. Stella is a nightmare and I would love any more info o...

Hey Ginny, How are you doing hunny? I never knew about Viveka, interesting will have to ask DR Shah about it. How did it go with him, was Stella scoped then? My son was diagnosed by him with Eosinophilic Colitis and is on an anti inflammatory 4 t...
I'm sure you already have Dr Shah down at Great Ormond Street, also does private clinics at Viveka in St. John's Wood. I would really like to know the best allergy people - is it possible to gather this too? So many cases of reflux are caused by f...

I just had another thought: basically a child will not drink or eat if they are in pain. Stella just would not take anything and in hindsight I should have pushed for more pain management. That really is the most important thing if you have alread...

poor you - I sympathise/empathise. Stella wasn't diagnosed until 4 months, so I'd already gone through weeks of hell. I was breast feeding at that stage. If you think it might be taste, I'd try Aptamil Easy Digest for a cow's milk option, with gav...
Thanks Ginny. Josie is 12 weeks old so we are a long way off adding things to her milk or weaning. We have had her on Neocate for a couple of days as the general consensus that she would only take 2 oz of Nutramigem because of the taste but Neocat...

I only have a minute, but you should definitely try neocate, it is the only dairy free formula. Pepti J and all the rest have elements of dairy in them. If I look back on my experiences (Stella is now 20 months old) I wish I had tried neocate at t...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this site, I came across it while I was searching for all the info I could on Silent Reflux. I have a 9 week old boy who I am convinced has it and finally on Thursday I found a HV who seemed to agree with me. I then saw a G...

i heared its more commom in boys too but both my girls have suffered 1st very mildy 2nd worse but you know its only i think 50/50 they will get it so theres 50% chance you will have a healthy baby and if it does have it remember knowledge is power...

Victoria replied to Sam's discussion 'Another baby??'yesterday
Apparently reflux is hereditary and more common in boys than girls so I would say quite a chance as you have had two more of a chance if the baby is early or induced - congrats on the new bump and my fingers are crossed that you give birth natural...
Hi hun - we tried pepti junior and my LO would not take it at all - we are currently trialling soya for a week but not sure there is any difference - the dietician who we are under said that if there is no allergy (and you would know withing 1/2 w...
Victoria replied to Kate's discussion 'what to do now...'yesterday
I agree with this completely - I have been really lucky my GP was great and called the PAU and asked for me to be seen that day and I was and so far when I have called the hospital I have been given an appointment to see paed that day but I told t...
I also did expressing and mixing in a bottle I found that if you use a double pump and pump regularly you can build up lots of stocks of it so you can also leave the LO with hubby or another person and have a break Good luck

What is reflux in babies?

Reflux is the word used to describe what happens when the stomach contents come back up into the gullet or into the mouth. The medical name for gullet is oesophagus (spelt esophagus in the US) So the long name for reflux is gastro-oesophageal reflux disease, shortened to GORD in the UK and GERD in the US.

The diaphragm is the muscle which separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. As the oesophagus passes through the diaphragm, t

What are the symptoms of reflux in babies?

Your baby may regurgitate a little milk after a feed or have hiccups. He/She may occasionally cough a little after regurgitating the milk if a little has gone “down the wrong way”. This is normal and as long as your baby is otherwise well, you don’t need to worry. Just make sure you always have a bib or muslin cloth to hand. Both formula-fed and breastfed babies may be affected.

More common symptoms of reflux:
Crying in pain
Discomfort when feeding (arching, screaming, refu
