has anyone used or tried these? they are for stomach spasms.. our ped. is having us try them before the endoscopy (may 11th)… i am also going to try the goats milk if the drops dont work.. we are trying everything we can think of before the test!

anyhow i have never heard of these mentioned on here.. and wondering if they work at all..

We tried them with both Kayla and Abby but it was before we knew they had reflux. I guess they never made much of a difference with my kiddos but you never know unless you try. Good luck!!

We used them for Brianna as well. I think they did help slightly, but my GI said it was most likely becuase of a high alcohol content that made her sleepy so she slept through whatever was bothering her. After he told me about the alcohol I stopped using them.

lauren-just a thought?

maybe its food intolerances? the ONLY symptom of Traces wheat intolerance initially was TERRIBLE nightwaking and middle of the night screaming/irritability

i dont know…would neocate maybe help him out?

hey natalia, i have thought of the neocate.. but i KNOW he wouldnt go for it this late in the stage. i tried getting him back on alimentum a couple months ago and it was horrible. soo.. i really think its late for that..

but since the ped. o.k’d doing whole goats milk @ 11 mos. for us.. because of our situation and how we are trying to find out if its his diet.. and because he does eat other foods well.

i know about the similarity with the cows milk.. but there has been so many success stories that i cant help but try it! if the goats doesnt work.. i might try the rice milk when he turns 12 mos…. as long as his fat intake goes up. or maybe even almond milk.

Lauren,

Brianna had an endoscopy done, and while I was scared for her just like you are, I am so glad I had it done. It showed esophagus errosion even though she had been on prevacid for over a month. And it finally got these Dr.s to pay attention to the fact that Brianna’s reflux was pretty bad (no one really believed me because she was such a happy baby, but she had the same problem as Shane…terrible night waking) They switched her to nexium for a few months to heal that errosion. I hope the goats milk works for you. Keep us updated on the scope.
