LittleRefluxers

Hello, my 12 week Daughter was diagnosed with Reflux about 3 weeks ago, though she had suffered with it since birth. I have lost count of the amount of times I had taken her to the Doctors only to be told her symptoms were normal.
She has been on Gaviscon since it was diagnosed, and this seemed to work at first but is no longer working very well. I do not want to put her the other dugs they recommended as I am worried about the side effects.
 I have made an appointment for her to see a Cranial Osteopath this week and wondered if anyone else had tried one?
It would also be good to hear from other local parents with children who suffer, just for support and to share experiences and tips etc. Thanks, Kelly.

Hi Charlotte
Thats so sad, that you and your little Boy are not getting the help and support you need. They had not said to me about a different milk, though I did ask if I should change it and they said to stay on the SMA Gold as it makes no difference changing it. Though I do know what you mean about the constipation - my Daughter has been really suffering with this and we are having to give her additional water (with a little milk powder in it as she will not drink plain water). I will let you know how it goes tomorrow at the Cranial Osteopath. Has your little Boy tried any other medication? My Daughter has never lost weight and is rapidly gaining weight, and this is all the medics and Health Visitors seem interested in. They seem to think that if the weight gain is good then there is nothing to worry about, but she is in so much distress and pain - something I am sure you are more then familiar with your Son. Take care, Kelly
