We are starting to put together a database of great reflux health professionals.
This is not going to be a comprehensive list of every doctor, health visitor or paediatrician...but a list of ONLY THE BEST! We get requests daily of where they best reflux health professionals are so we thought it would be great to have a definitive list.

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…

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…

Sarah posted a discussionRecommendations for multivitamins?
Hello,Just wondering if I could ask for your advice on which multivitamins would be gentle on a 19 month old LR tummy? He is stable (most of the time) on his losec but after a tummy bug a couple of weeks ago is still v lethargic and I thought maybe a wee boost in his vit c would do him good. He can't really take much fruit as it sets his reflux off but does have some apple purée every day. Aper from that he eats beef stew and veg soup so iron not an issue but maybe absorption of iron? Not sure…See More
Claire Roberts replied to Claire Roberts's discussion Feeding issuses question?"Hi! He is 10 weeks tomorrow! He never had a 6 week growth spurt but since yesterday he has been drinking 5-6oz every 1.5-3 hours and only fussing at 1or 2.
I cant get hold of anti reflux milk anywhere. Nearest boots is 35 miles away :-( but he is…"
Nicola Giles replied to Abi's discussion Milk and weaning"Hi my lo is 9 months old and I just use his formula milk (he is on neocate) on his cereal so you could use yours. She could definitely be more affected by yogurt than full fat milk. When we weaned my now 4 year old girl onto dairy when…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Abi's discussion Milk and weaning"4 days is hopeless - you need 2 weeks minimum and preferably 6-8 weeks dairy free before you say it's not making a difference. I never cease to be amazed how many of the doctors have Xray vision and can just say a baby is "not CMPI"…"
Abi replied to Sophie Burch's discussion Twins with reflux"Sometimes I really hate the medical profession, I know they have to be careful but they also need to be more open minded and listen to us mums!
We have reflux in our family and 4 of my aunts/uncles are on omeprazole and ehen I said that to my GP she…"
Abi replied to Abi's discussion Milk and weaning"Hi Jenny,
Thanks for your reply, very helpful info.
We have never had a total dairy free trail, before we started to wean we did a 4 day stint of the pepti milk but saw no change, so with that and the thoughts of the ped/dr we did not take it any…"
Sophie Burch replied to Sophie Burch's discussion Twins with reflux"Thanks Abi.
We were initially prescribed Nutramigen as they suspected food intolerances (I'm not 100% sure why as I had explained we had reflux in the family), but the twins were struggling with Breastfeeding, not thriving and we had to top…"
Jenny Rawling replied to Abi's discussion Milk and weaning"If she is to some extent CMPI she is likely to react to all mammalian milks so goat's milk is out. Many CMPI children also react to soya so that's not a good replacement either. You can get oat, hazelnut, coconut, almond milks with the UHT…"
Abi posted a discussionMilk and weaning
HI Everyone, Just wondering if anyone can help. My Daughter is 6months old and has been diagnosed with silent reflux which we are on omeprazole for. I am also convinced that she has also always had a slight reaction to milk as well but the doctors had none of it and even the pediatrician said she did not have one.Anyway due to her reflux we were happy to wean early so she has been taking solids of a type since she was 4 months and it was going really well until now. As she is six months I have…See More
Abi replied to Claire Roberts's discussion Feeding issuses question?"Hi Claire,
How old is he? My daughter did the same but we linked it to one of her growth spurts at 4 months which makes them fussy at the bottle. After a few weeks she went back to drinking all her bottle. We are on her six month…"
Abi replied to Sophie Burch's discussion Twins with reflux"Hi Sophie, Have you asked if you can go on Omeprazole (losec). It always seams to be that doctors/peds always try this last but from all the people I know who's children have reflux it works the best.
We were lucky as I requested omeprazole…"
Abi replied to Abi's discussion Waking at night? When to give meds?"Thanks Nicola. Going to try her on 10 from today! Fingers crossed it will help!

Sophie Burch posted a discussionTwins with reflux
My twin boys are 19 weeks today and both have reflux. We are on Infant Gaviscon and have been on Ranitadine and Domperidone. I took them off the Domperidone after 48 hours because they screamed even more. I've been weaning them off Ranitadine for the last 2 weeks and they don't have it anymore - this is due to some research that states it can be harmful to babies kidneys (the sodium content), especially combined with Infant Gaviscon. Both babies are now showing signs of discomfort and will…See More
Nicola Giles replied to Nicola Giles's discussion delayed gastric emptying"Hi he is up around 6 times on a normal night and all night on bad nights. He cries out on waking then I can hear liquid gushing or coughing or swallowing. He can often settle upright on me but sometimes thrashes about if he is having a…"
Nicola Giles replied to Nicola Giles's discussion delayed gastric emptying"Thank you Jenny! Wow no one has ever mentioned this to me before. That would make sense as there is a steady increase throughout the night as to how much pain he is in and how difficult it is to get him back to sleep. Did you ever find…"
