re: Questioin about gas and pooping!

Quoting gmm0918:“ My Md is also a friend so I really like her, she recommended rice in his only one bottle a day but that ... [snip!] ... milk when i was pregnant and had to cut it out completely when she saw him at the hospital when he was born, that was hard.”

I just feel like so many Doctors are very tunnel-visioned. I wish they would have a more holistic approach.MY experience with Doctor's is that they're too quick to prescribe medication and not get to the SOURCE of the problem. Not all Doctor's are like that, but most are.

As for reflux, I think it's a very common thing and I think there are degrees of it (I don't know, this is just my own personal theory). I mean, there are times when it is problematic if your baby isn't keeping much down, projectile vomiting, or the acid is burning their esophagus, but some of it is just normal and will improve as baby and their digestive system matures. I've only had two children with symptoms of reflux and they did slowly grow out of it and are healthy children today. I never had it treated, because actually I had never heard the term reflux when I had him 7 years ago. Now, it's everywhere (at least, on BG, it's everywhere!   ).

Quoting gmm0918:“ yeah I have no dairy or gassy veggies or chocolate or caffiene or citrus fruits, I guess I might get some wheat from bread but it's honey wheat? any other foods to stay away from?”

Basically all the foods I stated above, and peanuts and strawberries ONLY if there's a family history of it.

The bottle you give him, with the rice, is it breast milk?

yes, the bottle i give him is breast milk.

I'm out of ideas. Maybe its a side effect of the reflux meds he's on? Idk I'm sorry mama

Wish it was the meds but he had this prob prior to any meds, basically from day. He passes gas all the time though, well I will try the rectal stim, warm compress, and karo syrup as a last resort. Thanks for everyone's help, hopefully he will grow out og it soon.
