Private gastros are hard to find in the Wirral/Merseyside area. I know Alderhey in Liverpool do private sessions, and Im sure that you may have to go to Chester to see them as they work out of both hospitals. There is a secretary to the gastros who is based in Chester and can arrange private sessions.Her name is Jo and her number is 01244 677985. I was going to go myself, but our normal Paed finally diagnosed my LO with CMPI, so no need for me to go as Im getting her sorted. I know Manchester are supposed to have some good ones, Im not sure where, but some of the ladies on here may well know.

Good luck x

You are wonderful Alison c!! Thanks for your recommendation.  Had private app with Marcus Auth today and it's first time we have really been listened to. He was fab!  We now have an action plan and already feel so much better! We are lucky and have private medical insurance but would have sacrificed lots of things to be able to pay for today:-) thank you to slovenly lady called Helen with Charlie who recommended this site as well!  Off to chill but will keep you updated xxx

Arghh thank you. Its lovely to hear that you've got an action plan and are getting things sorted. I really hope things work out for you and your little one starts to feel better soon. Its very distressing watching them in pain all the time and feeling helpless, especially when medical professionals dont have a clue and you carry on for months not getting anywhere. My LO is getting much better and is starting to outgrow the reflux and CMPI, we have shaky days, but the good far outways the hell that we used to have. Best of luck and big hugs, keep us updated xxx
