Well, last night was one of our worst since before we found out about his food intolerances. Back then, when he was getting all of the wrong proteins through my breastmilk, he would cry while trying to pass gas and would twist and turn – apparently with crampings – and was unable to lay down and go to sleep until either he was completely overtired or pain-free. Well, last night, he was back to that. His wakings were definitely not his typical reflux pain. Mylanta did nothing. The only thing that worked was nursing him until he fell deeply asleep. Nursing always seemed to help him pass gas (maybe the sucking). He didn’t pass gas while nursing last night but frequently pulled off to cry and thrash around and then would want to suck/sleep again.
I don’t know if the generic Reglan is the problem or if it is something else. (I haven’t given him any more today.) I called Walgreens and they gave me the list of ingredients and the manufacturer’s name. I called them and their paperwork shows the med to be free of gluten, soy, and any animal product (including dairy). Maybe the med is not the problem. Maybe I ate something or he got ahold of some food he shouldn’t have eaten. But normally, his reaction is a skin rash and happy sleeplessness.
Why…why…don’t these kiddos come with an owner’s manual????
