ds2 (6 weeks) has been on neocate for 3 weeks and ranitadine for 2 weeks for silent reflux. i think theres abit of improvment but he poos only every other day at the most and i think is more windy and the wind gets stucj in his belly and he only farts, never brps. cant find any info on side effects apart from 'distended bowel' anyone ele have this prob?

saw regstra today as wasnt told paed was ff sick and he said his belly fine but is constipated and that i should give more water (6+oz) im waiting for a call for appt with the paed as i complained as he was awful and patronising

pooing every other day is ok as long as plenty of wet nappies. is he gaining weight? my ds hated neocate, so lucky if your ds takes it! paeds can be patronising i know. good luck.

he told me ds should be pooing at least once or twice a day. yes he is thriving which is a bit annoying (although obv v v grateful) coz the doc arent really listening

really? How odd. my dd doesn't poo every day, more like every other day. If he is thriving that is the main thing, does he appear to be in pain now? Are his stools soft or hard when they come out?

he is in pain alot of the time, dont know if its the milk or ranitadine or the refulx. he has got worse since on both of these and i dont know which to take him off first...

the only other option of mik we have is nanny goat which is what ds1 ended up on and still has to have whole goats milk now..

just trying find out if any one had this prob to see if it was a side effect of either
