I never thought I would be posting in this section again ;). But I think Shane needs some TUMS. I THINK he is teething. Either teething is bothering him..or teething/reflux flare up from teething. He has been burping A LOT..drooling..slightly mucousy/loose poo…hands in mouth.. not wanting to eat much…and CRANKY!! So cranky i cant take it anymore! SOO how do i give them? And what kind do I get?? And am i right that tums won’t cause a rebound effect? I want to make sure that this can be a here and there thing.

*Also … i did re-introduce goats milk a couple days ago ….after 3 weeks of no dairy/soy AT ALL! I have done goats milk before with him with success .. sooo i really dont think this could be causing the crankiness .. am i right? (I know the symptoms could indicate an intolerance, so i did stop it in the mean time just incase.)

Thanks everyone for your help and I hope you have a nice Labor Day!!!

I don’t know much about the goat’s milk, but I would think if he did OK with it previously then he is probably OK with it now.

Dr. Phillips suggested the smooth dissolve TUMS but make sure you get the TROPICAL flavored b/c they don’t contain hidden dairy/soy. I crushed up half a tablet, added a little water to it, sucked it up in a syringe and gave it to Sarah that way. i think you can give it 4-5 times per day but DON’T quote me on that (I may be thinking of mylanta there…)

OK, I’m second guessing myself now on whether to get Tropical or Fruit Flavored…hmmm…just make sure you read the labels (peel back and read the hidden label)…or hopefully someone else will remember. I also don’t know about TUMS causing a rebound effect…I wouldn’t think so, but again I’m not sure.

GOOD LUCK!
