to ME, suspension means compound…so to ME it sounds like they were not testing with the medicine given properly…plus the dose is low- this was a low dose 5 years ago…

pancreatic enzymes? read through here for more about that;

I wish I knew what else to say…how frustrating for you.
I guess try no meds or just zantac and wait until you get either the fastabs (prevacid) or capsules and either pears or w/ bufferbabies…

sounds like you want to continue to breastfeed?
so I would do the TED and then if you want to supplement w/ formula, you could use neocate which is where your milk will be once you clear it out of everything- the TED is a pain in the neck & not fun, but it has been worth it to so many of us. I was lucky, in that it really wasn’t anything (except…[Read more]

[this is also being discussed here- so this might help, too; https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=12177&PID=101040#101040]

it takes a good 2 weeks before you see the results of a PPI such as prilosec…so perhaps ‘all’ you are seeing is untreated reflux rearing it’s ugly head?
unfortunately, you do not know if the…[Read more]

summary, lol:
1) prevacid and zantac need to be spaced anywhere from 2-5 hrs apart. I give that range, bcse that is the range I’ve ‘seen’ on this board the past 5 yrs- our ped GI said 2 hrs and that worked for us. others say 3 or 4 or 5. I usually ‘just’ post 4 hrs bcse it’s the most ‘common.’

2) prevacid and mylanta cherry supreme (this…[Read more]

I would give the 2.5mls 2x a day, lol…but I can’t tell you to do that…
so try it w/ a meal…

a PROPERLY compounded PPI can be given at any time.
as for the dose, it says 2mgs per every 1ml you give…
your dose is 2.5mls so that’s:
2mgs + 2mgs + 1mg = 5mgs a day. that’s all

there’s a link from here about how to administer solutabs:

try oatmeal or barley and use beechnut brand or any brand that does not have milk or soy in the ingredients…

well, the thing that stands out to me is the tuna oil- weird! I know, but jonah reacted to tuna when I ate it (I was breastfeeding)
also the soy products-the best way to tell is to stop the lavendar bath, stop the gerber cereal (well known for causeing intolerances in many reflux babiess) and see what happens. THEN if nothing improves after a…[Read more]

oops- looks like they called sick kids toronto…not that she’s in toronto…

I would first think of the lavendar baby wash and then look at the oatmeal- what brand? gerber has milk & soy…beechnut is ‘safe’ as are other brands- check the ingredients and look for ‘hidden’ milk and soy…

Jonah was a non stop shrieker/howler, agh, I feel for you…
Babywearing is what saved me (& dh’s!) sanity…well, of course getting the MEDS right was what saved all of us, but in the meantime…

Lori is in Toronto & has a lot of experience in this- read her post above…
so what you might want to do is look into bufferbabies/caracream:

mylanta cherry supreme- the cherry supreme doesn’t have any aluminum in it- check the ingredients & you’ll see- it’s the adult kind- there isn’t any children’s- it’s safe for newborns even- give in 1ml doses up to 5mls over the course of the day- of you see loose stools then back off a bit
