A little more on our situation:
Babe is twelve weeks old. He’s reflux babe three, so I had been around the block already. I gave up milk and soy the day he was born; after having his severe tongue and lip ties clipped at four days, he started on reflux meds at six days. I tried to home-compound zegerid and Prilosec, so I wasn’t dependent on TCM, but it made him super sick and gave him terrible gas. When he was nine days old, I started TCM and he started to gain back the weight he’d lost.
He is exclusively breastfeeding, luckily, because at a month it became apparent – with no change in his terrible rash or blood in how stool – that he needed a TED. So I am on week 8 of a total elimination diet. So far, he reacts to milk, soy, gluten, nuts, eggs, onions, carrots, and tomatoes. TCM is the *only* med that doesn’t bother him (including OTC mylicon, MCS, etc.). I am hoping to find some TCM or BB so I don’t have to space around feeds and can keep baby gaining.
