First time posting so please bear with me!
My 15 week old DD was born with a malrotation at Hospital A. It hadn't been picked up in my antenatal scans but on day 1 she had some concerning vomits (one green, one yellow-green, one yellow), so we were blue-lighted to Hospital B where she was diagnosed and operated on. We were advised the surgery (Ladds procedure) was successful and no further issues were to be expected.
She was discharged from hospital after 6 days and from the outpatient team after 2 months as they were so happy with her progress (gaining weight, normal nappies and feeding well).
At around 12 weeks, she started producing specks of bright yellow in her spit up. I contacted the surgical team and GP and was told yellow is never a concern, only green. A few days after that she started straining - only occasionally and not inconsolable with it, but does seem uncomfortable despite passing wind and having bowel movements as normal. When this continued for a few days the GP advised me to go into Hospital A A&E to be on the safe side, given her medical history. Turned out she had a UTI which I thought explained it, but she has continued having occasional yellow spit up and straining episodes long after testing negative. She's had a normal renal and UT ultrasound.
I'm now told this is all normal, that there shouldn't be any issues after a successful surgery...that perhaps this is 'something she does now' and to try infacol if I am concerned. I can't find any information online to say regular bright yellow spit up is fine, even in small quantities. I think I've been written off as an over anxious FTM...I understand it's inappropriate for DD to have x rays every time I worry, but can't help but feel there should be a review or some dialogue at least with the surgical team to be on the safe side.
Just looking for some reassurance or advice...Is this all in fact normal? If not, should I be going back the GP for the 12th time, or straight to Hospital B A&E? It's quite far away and it doesn't feel like an emergency, but not sure what else to do if GP and local hospital are unconcerned. I can't afford to go private but don't know what kind of doctor even to look for to ask about all this.
Has anyone experienced similar after malrotation? How do you ever stop worrying??
