I hope that they didn’t come from this link, where there are notes about all kinds of probiotics, and the notes tell whether or not they have milk or soy, etc…Probiotics, brands used: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8970&PN=1

if she’ll take the neocate, great! If not…you gotta do what you gotta do…

I would TELL dr that you are requesting a SWALLOW STUDY. Don’t ask; tell. This will show HOW she’s swallowing (the mechanics) and show if there’s any aspiration. If dr doesn’t want to then INSIST saying “what if she’s aspirating?!?” Then, if she IS aspirating, you can find out EXACTLY how to thicken your milk and to what EXACT consistancy using a…[Read more]

1) I would now ‘use’ this to DEMAND more meds, etc. FAX FAX FAX. You can always back down in the future…

2) ok now what to expect: it can take a full 2 to 3 weeks for the neocate to show it’s full effect. many many babies have a hard time transitioning to neocate (actually just transitioning from one formula to another), so go as…[Read more]

are they mucousy? can look like cottage cheese or stringy like the strings in bananas or ‘just’ look like mucous, lol. if not & if he doesn’t have any rashes or excema then it just might not be your diet. it might just be that he needs a higher dose of PPI or that he needs zantac thrown into the mix as well (or both)…to answer your question, yes…[Read more]

interesting that the prevacid is helping w/ the vomitting, because the meds don’t necessarily do this- they are supposed to help with the pain of the acid going up & down the esophogus.

The dose sounds good- a total of 22.5mgs a day. are you giving it on an empty stomach, followed by a meal 30 min. later? this is how to have them be the most…[Read more]

I don’t know why this is not known. IT stinks! It’s been 4yrs since my baby was medicated and, sadly, not a whole lot has changed. There has been SOME change, thank goodness! but not a lot…

as for the % of bicarbonate? if your dose is high like 7mls then that % of sodium bicarbonate is fine. Why don’t you print out what you want, re-type…[Read more]

Check the link in Groupie intro for a dr in CT. Ann Marie is in Ct (monty123) as is Lauren (shane’smom). You might have to travel a bit…
Or find out from dr philips re: contacting someone at Yale and then have that person contact YOUR dr.

I’m originally from CT (stamford!), now happy happy in FL

ok I have a LOt to say!
no time to say it, LOL!!!

1) the dose is most likely not high enough
go to http://www.marci-kids.com & see

2) since it’s prilosec, take a look at marci-kids about ZEGERID.
very stable. I’d guess your compound, aside from not being a high enough dose, is not good after 2 weeks, IF THAT.

3) get diaper checked…[Read more]

colic does NOT last all day! COLIC is when they don’t know anything else to tell you.
This should help a lot!
Wondertime article/colic solved: http://wondertime.go.com/learning/article/interview-colic-expert.html

go to page TWO & find the probiotics mentioned. Try these, too, why not?

you would get capsules and get caracream (now called Buffer Babies) & make it yourself.

get pharmacist’s name and now would be the time to contact dr philips-
email him re: buffer babies and ask him to please in the meantime to contact pharmacist (get pharmacist’s name & fax # – her/his email would be even…[Read more]

you say you’re ‘following’ a leading PHARMACOLOGIST who is at the forefront of RESEARCH addressing PPIs and infants! I’m not mad at you.
I really don’t like your doctors. I feel so bad for you!

give the prevacid 4hrs seperate from the axid (and mylanta) . or try 2 hours. do what you gotta do.

ask the pharmacist for a print-out of…[Read more]

it might ‘just’ be the compound (liquid) prevacid. you must TELL your doctor to write out how EXACTLY it needs to be compounded. compounding from lori: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=7855&TPN=1

in the meantime, I’d contact http://www.marci-kids.com and ask about caracream. read here, especially the purple post(s) so you know…[Read more]

Tips for Zantac & Mylanta: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=149&KW=mylanta

prevacid solutabs must be given on an empty stomach. There is now (once again, hallelujah!) prevacid in caracream which does NOT have to be given around meals- read through here & look for purple post(s): Caracream: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=11191&PID=94236#94236

also you can TRY giving the axid (have you figured…[Read more]

yes, there’s amalyse or some other enzyme(s) in the breastmilk that will break down cereal. for silent reflux you might not want to consider cereal. it can also get your supply all wonky– from ‘groupie intro’ https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&PN=1&TPN=1 check out the links in the ‘section’ called ‘breastfeeding your reflux…[Read more]

maybe 15mgs 2x a day would do the trick? hmm….
what does http://www.marci-kids.com say?
