I’m hoping there is someone out there who has had a similar experience because my husband and I are at a loss when it comes to our DD!

She is 17 montgs and had pretty bad reflux as an infant, as well as a milk protein allergy. She took Zantac first and then Prilosec until 9 months, and by 12 months was off meds and drinking cow’s milk without problems. Around 13 months she started spitting up/vommitinf every day. Since then, we’ve had food allergy tests, Celiac tests, experimented with eliminating lactose, thyroid tests, CF test (she had also plummeted from the 49th petcentile to the 2nd, though she us starting to gain more quickly.) At her last GI appt, the doctor put her on Prilosec and said to cut out yogurt (which always, even when dairy free, makes her vomit). In the last month she’s been less consistent with spitting up, but we’re still hearing “juicy” burps and today a true vomit (2 weeks in to prilosec).

Any thoughts??

she’s not through w/ being intolerant to milk protein.

she seemed fine but then the protein built up in her system and she is showing that she is not fine w/ the milk

Laura- thank you for sharing those, however she was tested for blood in her stool and that was also negative- I forgot to mention that!

the links help explain the difference b/t intolerance and allergy…

blood in the stool might indicate allergy, but if it’s not there, baby could still have an intolerance…
