We tried the Colic Calm. It didn’t do anything for Bryce but turn his spit up black
(It has some charcoal stuff in it). That was Bryce though. It might be worth a try, especially if your baby has other tummy issues with the reflux.
ohh ok! thanks!
if i could get back all the money i have wasted trying to buy things on the internet
i would probably be a millionare!
I’m hearing you Lauren
.o.k so i found one called colic-ease, no sodium bicarb and no charcoal… but i cant order it , because i have ordered about a 1,000 different things for Shane online, and none of worked, and i think my husband will kill be if i order one more thing!
and i found this about the charcoal on the coliccalm website..
should i believe them or no? ugh, its coming in the mail, and i dont know if its safe… on the colic ease website, they say chacoal isnt safe expecially for babies. ugh.
“We use a small amount of pharmaceutical grade activated charcoal, the purest form of carbon, and the building block element of all living things. In fact, carbon comprises 18% by weight of the human body (70% is water). The FDA rates activated charcoal as a universal antidote Category I (safe and effective). Long recognized as being particularly helpful in providing relief for gas in the digestive tract, physicians and regulatory agencies also acknowledge charcoal’s amazing absorptive properties. Charcoal is used in hospitals throughout the U.S. in relatively large concentrations to absorb and neutralize drugs and poisons in people of all ages and conditions of health.
Europeans and Native Americans have used this “universal antidote” for centuries. The first use for digestive upset of this amazing remedy dates back to Egyptian Papyrus of 1550 B.C., in fact. Mother Nature has yet again supplied us with the simplest and most elegant solution to the age old enigma of colic. Since necessity has proven time and time again the mother of invention, it was only a matter of time before a suffering parent discovered this novel application.
It is important to know that absolutely all of this vegetable form of carbon which we term “activated charcoal” passes out of the body system fully, naturally and easily … taking along with it the gases and toxins it has collected on its journey. It is without rival as a cleansing agent and in assisting the healing process of the body, as shown by numerous medical studies (see gripe water information page). Indeed, our gentle formula provides the safest and most effective gripe water for relief of
colic and gas pain available anywhere…and babies just happen to love the taste!”Hi Lauren, my sister-in-law used to quickly dunk a chamomile tea bag into the boiling water when she was making up bottles for my neice. She swears by it. I probably would have given this a try if I hadn’t got everything sorted with the pead early on.
I don’t know if I would do the one with the charcoal or not- its kind of in the companys best interest to say it is safe etc
so they sell it. There is never an easy answer . I wonder if you can get a refund if you decide not to try it?yep i can. thanks… i guess like i said before i just want something natural to give him to help ease any tummy issues from all the teething and when he get the hiccups and just to calm it because he still has reflux. i am just not sure if i should try the herb medly that he gave me or not.
the regular docs wont really condone it, because herbs are never proven safe except for like chamomile or something that gentle i guess. hmmm…..
