Well, I’m so sorry that you are going through this. And I’m really sorry that your doctor talked you out of breastfeeding. Sometimes it can take up to two weeks or more for offending proteins to clear the system, and it could have been more than the dairy that was bothering her.. maybe soy?? Since she reacted to the rice, it could be that she is intolerant to several different proteins, and if this is the case, maybe Neocate would be a better option?
As for the tabs. I never used them, so I can’t help you there, but if the reflux is causing pain, and it sounds like it is, then you need to get it under control ASAP – especially if she is spitting up blood.. that means her esophagus is damaged. Why do you think they will hurt her more??
As for the fever.. that’s probably not reflux related.. I’ve never heard of it being related to reflux, but maybe someone else has.
