Hello all.
It's me and my endless questions about ds2 AGAIN.
He's 2 mths old, ebfed and diagnosed with GORD since 4 weeks. He ialso suffers from dreadful wind/lower bowel pain colicky stuff too.
He currently takes infant gaviscon and Ranitadine plus some colief for the wind. He is about to start Domperidon tomorrow.
He is still in a great deal of pain and discomfort a lot of the time and I have great difficulty telling if it is the reflux(sikent) or the wind so am find it difficult to assess how the meds are working out for him.
Any ideas? I just wnat to be able to help him in the most effective way...

Thanks for the posts. They are all very helpful. Smile

Lol at bed like a ski slope.

Yeah, I have considered the enfamil ar as a trial if things do not improve. Still got to give the omeprazale a go. It is next step for us. Will look out for htat book too.

It does feel bad when you are wishing the early time away. Sad
