i only have a second, but HUGS to you!!!

I think I would tell her how much she hurt(s) you by her comment(s) and tell her YES you’ll consider homeopathic remedies, such as chiropractic care, ALONG with WESTERN MEDS…

tell her you are at the forefront of the research (you are! look at you!) in this area and it totally SUCKS that there are no good ‘natural’ remedies for this disease (GERD- the D is for DISEASE)…

then maybe gush about how LUCKY she is not to have to face any of these MEDICAL issues, yada yada and just end it there…

HUG TO YOU!!!!

Luzaria, sorry you’re going through this but I think we all have gone through it one way or another. My sister and I are also very close. We finally decided to medicate Ariella when she was 4 months old because we went through 4 months of hell. She, my sister, whom I love very very much, told me that maybe it’s not such a good idea to give such a small baby any meds. It upset me to no extent but then I had a talk with her and told her how terrible our lives were. Everyone was suffering…After our heart to heart conversation she was understanding. My inlaws, on other other hand, refused to understand that such diagnosis (GERD/Reflux) exists. Ariella was on meds for 14 months or so and I heard their “opinion” every freaking day. What I’m trying to say is, everyone has an opinion. Your job as the parent is to listen to everyone’s opinion and to do what’s best for you and your child. Don’t let anyone’s comments (especially people who never went through it) get you down. All the best.

Thank you ladies! I have the words to say now. This whole thing has been a learning& growing experience for me in many ways!

Hang in there even if she doesn’t get it after you talk to her. I love my sisters just as much, but sometimes I just smile and nod……. I am usually full of words (and loud ones sometimes to get my point acrossed) but I have really learned until you are in a situation, it is very difficult for some people to empathize.

No worries! you will do great!
