"hi tara what you describe is almost identical to how my little one has behaved when she wasnt controlled with medication. I know its difficult but i would get pushy with the docs and ask them to try him on either omeprazole or lansoprazole. They…"

"hi laura if i were you i would be asking the docs for a PPI ...my lo was on ranitidine for a long time and with hindsight i really wish i'd got her on lansoprazole sooner, after 10days on that she was like a different child so i neednt have…"

"Doctor browns are the best or the tommy tippee anti-colic with the vent system in the middle"

"burping is related to indigestion. inability to digest = intolerance. What milk is he on? might be worth trialing neocate or nutramigen AA if you are not already to exclude cows milk protein for a while to see if that makes an improvement. Have you…"

"i'd be taking her off dairy completely as Sara has already said. That tummy is very badly distended and to me suggests she is having a reaction to milk. Is she weaning? could there be something else like soya/egg/gluten that could…"

"Rosie is ok with the actual Calpol brand sugar and colour free version but not with Tesco's sugar and colour free - very strange, that one makes her hyper and if she wakes up she is wide eyed and bouncing about, takes me ages to get her back to…"

"sounds like cows milk protein intolerance to me. I'd push for a trial of Neocate or Nutramigen AA (must be AA and not 1 or 2 as they still contain milk proteins). xx"

"Name: Claire INFO: mother to Rosie who is nearly 13mths silent refluxer born with severe tongue tie and high palate. reflux diagnosed at 13wks also CMPI through weaning we also discovered she is MFPI.  rantitidine did zilch for us and…"

"go for it, in my experience the more info you have with you to back you up the more seriously they will take it and definitely send to practice manager too. Unfortunately GP's are what their namesake says they are - general practitioners, the…"

"hi catherine,    i dont think you are overreacting at all. nursery should not be giving foods  that you havent agreed to. i would be having a word with the manager. you really need to nip it in the bud now and  make them take it…"

"sometimes i think they just dont know what to do about the symptoms we describe so they talk over you and try fobbing you off. I would deffo email the pics to the gastro ..cant see how they could say that those poos are normal for a milk fed baby"

"i dont like the look of that poop or the soreness of his bottom the poor little chap. if he is just on hypoallergenic milk i dont think you should be seeing poos like that hun x"

"it really sucks doesnt it. We have got to see a specialist speech therapist at our local hospital on the 8th Feb am wondering what she can advise to try and help the situation. For as long as i can remember i have always encouraged Rosie to have…"

"rosie is just about to be 1yr old, still no sign of her reflux resolving. seems to react to every new food we try...we have some good weeks but then it seems to all go wrong and we're back to square one with night time waking, stomach spasms,…"

"hiya i had a similar thing with my LO she had specks of blood on her babygrow some times back in the early days. The GP poo-poohed the idea that it was anything to do with reflux but when i spoke to the Gastro about it he said it wouldve been…"

"hiya i have an appointment at that clinic in june with Rosie as she will not eat lumps and still has general feeding issues and multiple intolerances. I think the clinic is run by a specialist team including the gastroenterologist, speech therapist,…"
