If you have chosen to use caracream or buffer babies with OTC meds and to go by the recommendations that Dr. Phillips provides – how did you explain this to your pediatrician?

Mine has prescribed too little medication, so I am going by Reflux Solutions recommendations. I tried to gage my doctor’s flexibility by mentioning that I gave her an extra dose one day, he called it “overdosing” and did not look pleased. So I am scared to explain to him what I’m doing…giving her three doses of more meds than he recommended EVERY day!

Has anyone had success in asking the Missouri folks to explain this to their pediatrician? I don’t think my personal explanation will be good enough, even though the meds are working great.

if u ask me it’s none of their bussiness, unless your child has other medical issues where this information would be vital. I just say she is doing well with her reflux if they ask. personally I feel that if you are successfully managing the reflux on your own you need not involve the pd if they are going to give you a hard time.

I wouldn’t explain it to ped. I would do what I had to do and at the same time I would TELL ped to give referral to Ped GI.

if ped would not give referral then I would SWITCH peds.

once w/ a ped GI I would discuss the matter further.

or, one mama, once she got to the ped GI just ‘told’ the ped GI “this is the dose my baby is on”

(disclaimer: I cannot tell you what to do and I am not a medical professional)
