Need a new pediatrician!

[Anonymous]

I am trying to find a new ped for my 5 month old. I really don’t know where to begin to look for one. Is there any advice you could give me on how to find one in Asheville, NC that is good with babies with Acid Reflux. Mine just is not working out. He just will not listen to me. Makes me feel like I crazy because I keep bringing him in when he screams when he eats. I know what the problem is, I just need to find someone that will help me fix it. I have looked into a GI but the next appt they have will not be for 4-5 weeks. I don’t think I can wait that long. Thanks for any advice.

casey,

my baby had silent reflux. note the ‘had!’ It WILL GET BETTER!! You’ve found a great place full of amazingly wonderful people to help you and support you!

I put together a welcome/intro for all newcomers and, while it is long, it really will help you- there’s information about finding a doctor, feeding your reflux baby, the medications, their ‘proper’ dosing, sandifer syndrome and more…here it is- please find the time to look it over and go back to it as you have questions: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&am p;am p;PN=1&TPN=1

so glad you found us!

Hi Casey,

I wish I knew of a good dr in your area. I actually grew up in Asheville and my family still lives there. But I never had need of a good ped gi while I was there, so I’m not much help.

Now I work with the University of Missouri Hospital with a group called MARCI-Kids. You should check out our site if you haven’t already. There is a lot of helpful information on treating babies with acid reflux. There is a link to it in my signature. Good luck!
