sounds like you want to continue to breastfeed…so what I would do is first concentrate on the medication. I say this because you did not cut out the milk proteins entirely…the dose might be ok, but you need to research on HOW to give the medicine, as this is just as important as the proper dose. it may have been the citric acid, or the aspertame or anything in the solutabs. OR if you were not giving on an empty stomach, followed by a ‘meal’ 30 minutes later, then it might have just not worked?
as for the capsules they need to be opened up and hte ‘beads’ need to be given with a bit of applesauce on an empty stomach and then follwed by a meal 30 min later…the Medicine Forum has sticky posts (top posts in the forum) that explain the reasons for all of this…
the lack of spit-up is called silent reflux. it’s a double burn. it comes up burning and they swallow it back down.
get to a ped GI as soon as you can!
as for the mucousy green poops if they are all.the.time then you may just have to look into your diet, starting if you want to by just eliminating all milk & soy proteins including hidden ingredients. this will make your milk like alimentum, actually it will make it more like neocate. to learn about the different formulas, got tothe MSPI Forum and click on the sticky there, the ‘main’ MSPI page and look for a link called ‘misconceptions about elemental formulas’ this should help a LOT!
hang in there! you CAN do it!

I hope someone out there can give me some hope. My son is 14 weeks old and struggling. Here is the whole story. Beginning at 2 weeks old I started to notice that he would get fussy about 20 minutes after eating (he was exclusively BF). This progressively worsened over the weeks to inconsolable screaming.
