DD has been on Infant Gaviscon for a few weeks, but it makes her terribly constipated :( poor little dot seems like she is in so much pain. I can see her pushing really hard, trying to poo but she can't, and she is screaming the whole time until she gives up. When she finally does poo, it's not like pebbles like a typical constipated-baby-poo, but is like a huge blob of play-dough that fills the nappy, then once I've wiped her bum clean, she pushes again, and its really runny diarrhea-type poo! This only happens when she has had Gaviscon - if she doesn't have it, her poos are more frequent, not as smelly, and a much better texture. She can manage a couple of bottles without Gaviscon, but then we get to the 3rd gaviscon-free bottle of the day and she will be sick with every burp and cry because it hurts her! It's like a vicious circle...If I don't give her gaviscon she's in pain with the reflux, but if I do give her it, she's in pain when she tries to poo!
So, are there any other treatments out there for reflux, other than Gaviscon??
