my baby girl erin is 6months old now. when she was 10 weeks my elder daughter found her in her cot blue, limp and not breathing. i had to resuscitate her and she was taken to hospital. these episodes went on for several weeks with her in and out of hospital having eeg's ecg's ect. i was then told she has silent reflux. she has been on ranitadine and gaviscon and everything was fine until last week when she had another serious episode and for the first time began vomiting. she has now been put on domperidone. my G.P has said certain foods make reflux worse but couldnt tell me which!! as she has just begun weaning, i am sure there is a link to the episodes starting again. im at my wits end with worry. can anyone help?

Dr Mike Thompson - that's who we saw - and we did see him at Portland Street first as we went privately for a consult as the waiting list was massive for a referral to a local gastro-paed. We paid to see him at Portland and then he referred us to his NHS clinic at Sheffield - he was fantastic!

Erinsmum - so pleased you seem to be getting there.
