Please Help...Anyone!!
I need some help! I am going insane! My son will be 2 the 26th of June and he weighs 22lbs. When he was an infant he was on Lactose Free Formula due to fussiness. Sometimes the bottles would come back up (out the nose and mouth). We had his crib mattress elevated. Then we went through a good time where he would puke once a month. Now for the past month or so he is back to puking his nightime milk cup (just out the mouth). We have to supplement him with Carnation Instant Breakfast because he will not eat table food. (Whole other story!) Anything with textures he will gag until he pukes. We have been to an ENT and they are talking about taking out his tonsils, thinking they might be gagging him. I am wondering if he has acid reflux. We used to put Tiny Tummies in every bottle he had. We might start doing that with the milk cups to see if it helps. His 2 year check up is the 26th and we will be addressing these issues.....but if there is anyone out there with some advice or something....I could really use it!
Thank you so much for listening!

My 2 yr old daughter has alot of similar kind of issues. Like the poor weight and stomache issues. Have you seen a gastroenterologist yet? If not I would definetely suggest it. The carnation is good,I have to use that also. Since her 1 st birthday she has gained (and Loses) a total of 4 lbs she is now 30 1/2 months old. She can't get in with a Gi dr till the end of july. Very busy dr's.
I hope all goes well.

I am so sorry that there is someone else suffering like Lance is, but it is helpful. I have not had him see a GI doctor yet. I was going to wait until his pedi appt and see if she can diagnose it. I do hope that all goes well with your child also. Thank you so much for responding.

I am suprised your pedi hasn't already reffered to a Gi,I would definetely ask to see one. They are more able to do different types of testing and get to the problem. I hope all goes well.
Good Luck at the dr appt.

Hi jaime b. I really feel for you at the moment. Both my daughters(16&14) were lactose intolerant. Numerous feeding problems even after diagnosed. Daughter #1 had the *texture* problem when it came to solid food, and is still an extremely fussy eater to this day. Daughter #2 was a different problem all together. Still couldn`t keep milk down, still fussing and appeared to still be in pain. Armed with all past history in hand, I changed paediatritians and finally we were told her problem was a mix of the intolerance and having an "under shot jaw". A development problem with the jaw ,that I was assured will correct it`s self, and it did. Maybe not the same problem you are going through but I know how you feel and I sympathize. Research! Research! Research! all the symptoms and throw a few suggestions of what you think the problem may be at the experts. They may be trained, but you may just open there eyes to the solution. Chin Up! there is hope
