Hi
I'm very new to this site but i have been reading the thread on reflux with great interest.
I have a 6 month old son (Finlay)who from 2 months of age has been treated for reflux,but now i'm starting to wonder!!
He's on lactose free milk as after every feed we would get screaming,arching back, etc.The milk sorted that problem out but the vomiting continues.
He has never refused a bottle,never gagged,he just bring up so much of his feeds between feeds if that makes sense.
He's on the gaviscon,rinitidine and as of yesterday after a trip to the consultant he is now on domperidone.
Because he is fine in himself they wont do anything else to find out if it is actually reflux.
He was born 3 weeks early weighing 5lb 2ozs and 6 months down the line only weighs 13lb 10ozs so still quite small but has only lost a few ozs a few weeks ago but has since put that weight back on.
Some days he is sick so much i have to change him 7/8 times a day.
Does it sound like reflux to you or am i just being paranoid?!

Hiya,

I can only go with my experience of reflux, but I hope I can still help. My son has really bad reflux but over the past 3 weeks it has got much better because we started weaning a month ago. He is still very sick some days and I have to change him loads throughout the day too. It sounds quite like what you have described.

It could still be reflux that that you lo has but I thought that it was supposed to get better by the time they reached 6 months +.

If you are not happy, then talk it over with your HV or GP to see if there are any other possibilities.

Thanks ever so much for your reply.
Weaning doesn't seem to have made any differance at all.
Maybe i need to pester my GP .again

I would definately see your doc again, they wont think you are pestering, youre just a worried mummy and since your LO is quite dinky for his age I would have thought you are quite justified in being concerned, all that puking is hard work so if a solution can be found it will be better for both of you,
Good luck
