welcome!
click on my welcome/intro, which you can find as the top post in the Introduce Yourself forum, and look for a link called ‘mspi’
and, from there, go to page 2 & scroll down to where you see ‘google cache’- this will explain all about the difference b/t allergy & intolerances- it’s really helpful

it really helped jonah when he was at his worse
it’s meant as a short-term solution, not a long term one like a PPI
but it worked wonders when we were at our wit’s end and he had breakthrough acid= it would calm him right down & then he’d sleeeep

grunting & moving around seem to be a common occuarance on this board
most seem to think it’s due to mspi and/or refluxing a lot at night…
if you’re concerned about the gaining weight what happens if you dont thicken? ‘just’ more of a mess? ok: edited to add (bcse I justread you post closer) that I am not so sure that thickening is used as…[Read more]

forgot to add: keep giving zantac, 4hrs seperate from PPi for 2 weeks at least as it can take that long to see effect of PPi
10 & 1/2 lbs (right? 16oz is 1lb so 8oz is 1/2 a lb?) is
4.8kilos
max zantac is 10mgs/kilo
4.8 x 10 = 48mgs
48/15 (liquid zantac)= 3.2 mls a day total, divided up into 2 or 3 doses however you ‘want’ to
this is…[Read more]

claire,
when you see the ped GI, I would make it very clear what kate’s symptoms are & how they have improved with prevacid (ie: sandifer’s symptoms have lessened, but haven’t disappeared all together- you know there’s room for improvement, etc)- if they have not improved w/ 2wks on prevacid I would of course mention that, too…
I would…[Read more]

if you go to the upper right hand corner of the screen, you’ll see the ‘settings’ button & from there you’ll see ‘Edit Profile’ & from there you’ll see ‘signature’
if you put your baby’s age, meds, doses of meds, formula, etc
then I won’t have to ask about them all the time & bother you
so: maybe it’s the meds at night, or lack thereof?…[Read more]

this seems like a good place to end for now…
thank you

jill,
buy up whatever the pharmacist has in stock, lol!
and I would get your instructions from dr philips himself

the other thread came about because it’s friday and there wasn’t a response from marci-kids; when you get yours you will get instructions, don’t worry

ps- if the pricing is the same as it used to be, get the big bottles of caracream. they were always the much better bargain. looks like you are using the small bottles.
I do not care what anybody says- they always claimed it had a short shelf and you would be left with unused medicine- and prevacid was always so expensive for us. it…[Read more]

hi & welcome!
I ahve a lot to say & I’ve said a good deal of it here:
Groupie Intro: my intro: https://www.infantreflux.org/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=853&am p;PN=1&TPN=1

a GI absolutely should NOT tell you that you need to stop breastfeeding, if that’s what you’re asking?
if your baby is gaining weight and having pee & poop diapers, then there’s no need to measure intake, I wouldn’t think? My lactation consultant would have me bring in the baby hungry, weigh the baby, have me feed the baby one breast, weigh the…[Read more]

a thought: are you taking any vitamins that might have milk or soy in them??

page 2 of the ‘main’ mspi post (first one in the mspi forum)
will tell you all about the differences b/t allergiees & intolerances
if the poop isn’t green all the time and isn’t mucousy all the time then perhaps it isn’t anything- even w/ Ari my non-refluxer, I have seen green and mucousy poops, lol
are you on the TED right now?
if so,…[Read more]

erica,
sounds like you need it compounded 2x a month-
just ask you doctor- fax a nice note even- to please humour you and to please write the perscription to be made every 2 weeks- while you at it, tell him to please humour you to write it up just the way you want (if it’s not already) this way: …[Read more]

I’m thinking of it, too!

if you want to know exactly what she’s getting from breastfeeding, you can ask to use the scale at the doctor’s office- go there, weigh her, feed her from one breast and then check her weight- then you can do the same from the other breast-that’s what they do in a lactation consultant’s office- then you can see what she’s taken in from you- it’s…[Read more]

I would like to tell you to please get to a international board certified lactation consultant & also your local La leche league–
pumping is not really a clear indication of the amount of milk you are making- the pump is no where as efficient as your baby at gettingthe milk out…
sorry to dump even more on you, but I have watched many mamas…[Read more]
