Having managed to get a paediatrician to say we need nutramigen, carobel and omeprazole, my Dr first of all couldn't prescribe the day he received the report because he doesn't do a surgery on a…Continue

Tasha - I have had the exact same experience as you. The only way I got my GP to listen and refer us to a paediatrician was to write a detailed diary for a day of when and what he eats, noting every time he vomits, ranking the severity from…

Yes , thick and easy , I agree with Verity they say not to put food in a bottle as it could cause choking. Thickners have been tried and tested for medical use so I would stick to those. Xx

Verity replied to laura taylor's discussion 'milk thickeners other than carobel/gaviscon?'

I think there is one called thick and easy or something similar to that. I'm not sure that the milk would actually come out if you added a grained porridge, I know a lot of people say its dangerous to add food to bottles because of…

milk thickeners other than carobel/gaviscon?

HiDoes anyone know of any milk thickeners other than gaviscon or carobel? The carobel we've been prescribed whilst keeping the milk down is giving Harry horrendous bowel wind that makes him cry when it comes out and is waking him all night. We switched back to gaviscon today but he has been really sick. I asked two pharmacists today but neither had any suggestions.Could I just add something like his plum 4 grain porridge to his bottle to thicken it instead?Sorry for being such a pain this…See More

Thanks everyone. I've just done some research and there's a surgery about 100 yards further down the road which has 3 GPs with one taking special interest in paediatrics. They also do online prescription renewals! Amazing…

I have to say our old gp was .. Hmmm naff! Didn't quibble so much over drugs but made us feel awful everytime we went with our little boy.. Saying he didn't need his tube as he was a big strong boy.. (hmmm that is why he was a big strong…

We had the same. My GP prescribed me one tin at a time initially and when he went for his biopsies was still muttering about waiting to see what the results showed because we might not need the milk. Turns out he has severe allergies and his colon…

He finally gave it to us but it was a battle. He started by saying that parents should pay for milk. I explained that it costs £17.48 a tin from Tesco pharmacy and thats just a 400g tin that lasts 2.5 days. I also added that…

Let them look after Harry for day without the prescribed milk, I say! I'm sure they'll soon prescribe it!!

Beth replied to laura taylor's discussion 'I hate my GP'

I sympathize as I had this too. GP gave me the run around for wks. Initially refusing point blank then making it difficult. Took several phone calls from my lovely paed to tell the surgery to do as they were told. Rubbish!

Laura Perks replied to laura taylor's discussion 'I hate my GP'

I had this too, my GP refused to prescribe our neocate without 'having a word' with me first (and reducing me to tears). her word was that she doesn't believe Florence has any issues and wants me off this milk asap. Same person…

Lol... I think the money part DOES play a part in it... Ionia of one mummy on here whose Child's meds cost over £800 a month - but her GP doesn't quibble. Ultimately the 'cost' shouldn't matter if it's making the…

Not surprised your ranting, I would be too. As if you don't have enough to deal with when having a poorly baby. My doctors take blooming ages to pull their fingers out and write scripts. My partner waited 45 mins for a script once. Could…
