I’m Dorothy, and I have a son who is five 1/2 months. He has had reflux since birth, and it took us a long time to figure that out. Once we did, we now figured out what causes his reflux. I breastfeed and the following things make him miserable (gas, mucousy bowel movements, spitting up, sleeplessness, sniffles, etc.): dairy, soy, pork, shellfish, nuts, certain fruits and vegetables, and did I mention anything that seems to come out of a box, package, or bottle. I identified these one at a time using Dr. Sears elimination. Now a happy boy and doing quite well, he’s showing all of the signs that he’s ready for solids. Last week, I purchased (after hunting for a soy free cereal for a month,) Beechnut Rice Cereal. We tried this week and the results are not so good. He is in full reflux mode again and pretty miserable. Has anybody had the same experience? Do you have any advice? Should I just go to the veggies and fruits I know are safe? I am thrilled that I found this site and am waiting for nap time so I can read read read!!!
