Ok, have ds2 who is 5 months old who has been diagnosed with reflux. Hospital 24 hours with computer down the throat job. He was put on Domperione, baby gaviscon and losec mups 5ml. I put him on and took him off gaviscon before the others started because it made him so so sick - very odd, then even odder, domperidone which is supposed to make the vomiting better, made him produce milk like a fountain - so so much worse than it was with nothing. The paed hasn't even contemplated why this is, just glazed over the issue. The Losec is still in place but gives him the most horrific runny tummy, seriously smelly exploding poos - clean socks, trousers, nappy, vest and top job! I think that is linked but not entirely sure as I am starting to wonder if maybe its something wrong with his stomach, bright yellow smelly water EVERYWHERE!
Having done all that he is still crying and screaming all afternoon most days. The mornings normally are fine, rarely a squeak issued but after 2.30 bottle its horrendous. Can scream for 4 hours straight and often does. The Paed will not listen to me, all he says is, well he isn't screaming now which really really isn't helpful, but he is a man so I guess he wouldn't listen! Not sure what to do now.
Becuase he was so sick with the domperidone, said paed has put him on Erithrmycin 1ml four times a day to have the same effect. I hate him being on antibiotics and all this other medicine, especially when it is cleary hurting his tummy with all the exploding nappies that we have.
He wakes up first thing in the morning (getting earlier and earlier) with the most horrific stink and mess, but it is fairly firm, it then deteriorates from there.
My health visitor said that she thought he could be bored which filled me with fury and horror, but I am now having to admit that I am starting to see a pattern that he is a whole lot easier when there are lots of things and people to look at rather than when its just me, him and ds1. Maybe he is bored? Any ideas? He is entertained most of the time because ds1 is fairly busy and we are out and about, but admittedly he does spend a bit of time in his bouncy chair whilst I run around after ds1. Could this be the problem do you think?
Does anyone have any knowledge on all these drugs, or any ideas as to what I should do?
Does Losec normally give them horrendous tummies or could it be something wrong with his tummy?
Does anyone have an idea what I should do next?
He is the most wonderful boy and smiles and laughs so much when he isn't screaming or crying, I want that all the time, its so horrid to watch.
Please help me?
