What I feel I do know is yes he has reflux.  I can hear him gulping.  He has lots of gas, bloated belly (still looks like he just had a huge meal even though it has been hours since his last bottle). No blood or mucous I can see in most diapers. AND the worst part EVERY TIME I TRY SOLID FOOD (no dairy, soy, egg or nut), HE IS IN A GREAT DEAL OF PAIN!!  Now I am NOT talking chicken strips here.  Anything, not just this fruit or this veggie.  He had been on just Elecare for 1 1/2 weeks (Elecare is his main food source).  Doing pretty well, even would say great for 4 days.  Then even with just formula, the amounts started to decrease an ounce here, two oz that feeding and so on.  So, since yet another doctor said he was fine, I started giving him about 1 ounce of stage one peaches just once a day for 3 days.  Then 1 ounce stage one pears for 2days.  Over those days, he was a little more fussy each day.  Worse today, no BM for two days until tonight.  Very fussy this evening, still drinking bottle well (thank God) and tonight he Poops.  It is painful, he strains, and cries.  The stool was mostly mussy with one more solid but soft piece (trying to use Bristol Stool chart terms).  Now he is alseep, but keeps waking repeatly-crying.  When I pick him up to comfort he passes gas (90% of the time) or grunting like he is trying to poop, but doesn't.

 

What I described above has gone on for so many months now.  He has had Zantac, Prevacid (current), Bethanechol, EES, Miralax and on and on.  I was breastfeeding until 9 months old, did the TED.  He went to just Elecare.  Try this solid food or that.  Nothing really helps!!!  He gets better for a few days and I will think, oh maybe that is helping....no. I know I am most likely leaving out something, so please ask any question.

 

WHY is this happening. 

 

DS does has an airway Hemangioma, but he is on Propranolol and no breathing problems since he started it at 3 weeks old

 

Thanks for ANY Help

Blessed Mom

 

DS had an endoscopy and no Esinophils noted so I guess no EE.

 

The last thing the GI doctor said was to go to an allergist, but DS would have to be allergic to every food out there.  I have tried different veggies, friuts and chicken.  Same pattern happens.  I only has ecezema type stuff in the winter and no "allegric" type stuff like face swelling or trouble breathing. 

 

I have thought of just going to the allergist anyway, but don't want to put DS through skin prick testing if no other signs point to this, including nothing on biopsy of scopes.  Then again I don't remember how much stuff he had to eat before his scopes, maybe that is why no changes on the biopsy reports

 

I am at a loss
