An update for those who have given me support over the past few weeks...

We finally got to see the paed today. After listening to us (he wanted to make his own diagnosis rather than listen to the GP's... probably quite wise as well!!) he said yes she does have acid reflux. He said he thinks it is mild to moderate - I personally think its more like moderate with all the pain she has been in, but there you go, I guess they can't tell without being there at the time.

She's now been prescribed another drug to help strengthen her tummy muscles and get the food moving through quicker.

He said it is definitely NOT colic. He is also pretty sure she doesn't have a milk allergy.

I feel so relieved that someone finally listened to me, and didn't fob me off with 'its colic.' However I am so angry its taken this long, not only because she has been in pain but also because I now have PND because of it all.

Anyways, thanks all for your advice and support. Fingers crossed we see improvement over the next few weeks.
:hug: :hug:
 
That Domperidone hun!?

My Lo's on that. We have another Pead appointment tomorrow, so we'll see if I can take him off any of his meds, or change his milk back to normal milk - god I hope its not a CMP intolerance as well as GERD that hes got!!!

Glad you got the diagnosis tho!! About time - stupid GP!

Yep Domperiwhatsit :) Haven't got it yet, pharmacy had to order it in for tomorrow.

We've been given a months supply. We have a follow up appointment in 2 months, but I think he did that more for my piece of mind. He said I can cancel it if she is ok. I guess my next hurdle will be getting more meds in a month if she needs them!

Fingers crossed your LO doesn't have an CMP intolerance as well. Its so hard seeing your baby unwell isn't it. Let me know how you get on xx
 
Glad you finally got someone to help Lara, hope the medication helps everything settle down :hug:
