Please someone help-my 9 month olds acid reflux!!

I keep getting the same response from doctors.. Meds meds and more meds..

Here is his story

Teething- got one bottom tooth 5 weeks ago and seems to be taking forever to cut the next bottom tooth. It bothers him a lot.

eczema developed around 3 months-
I was breastfeeding however I was drying up-I'm sure the stress had something to do with that.. We tried numerous formulas however it continued to get worse.
Then at 5 months old I started taking him to a holistic pediatrician. He had developed a rice protien formula so we started on that.. Eczema started to improve almost immediately!

At roughly 7 months he started to vomit. It mostly happens in the morning for his first bottle. I can hear it coming up his throat and he cries.. He vomits almost the entire amount he drank.
He has lost almost 2 lbs since the beginning. We obviously contacted the dr. His immediate response was put him on Zantac. We went a week trying colic calm and aloe juice. He kept vomitting sometimes up to 3 times a day. So I caved. We gave him Zantac. It did lesson the vomitting. However after a week it got worse again. So then he prescribed prevacid. He's been on for 2 days and it's worse than ever. So I went to a different pediatrician. He just gave us a prescription to go get an upper GI thing with barium? Xray?
Reflux symptoms or teething that he is showing
Hiccups
Wet burps
Cranky!!!!
Does not sleep well anymore
Does not want to drink much at all went from 40oz a day to now 12-15oz!

Please someone help! I don't want my baby on meds especially if it isnt even helping!!!!

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Please visit the link below where a baby with similar symptoms of GERD was treated by me.

The remedy for your 9 month old boy is:

Nat Phos 6x Dose half tablet taken immediately after a feed.
You should discover in a few days that he will not require the same dosage and you will then reduce the dose to ensure that he does not throw up. Later on still you can observe how he responds without this remedy.

Arnica 30c in the Wet dose taken twice daily. A dose is about quarter teaspoonful which can be given to him before a feed.
The Wet dose of any Homeopathic remedy is made as follows:

Order the remedy in the Liquid pack in Alcohol, also referred to as Liquid Dilution in a bottle preferably with a dropper arrangement.
Get a 500ml bottle of Spring Water from the nearest supermarket.
Pour out about 3cm of water from the bottle to leave some airspace.
Insert 3 drops of the remedy into the bottle and shake the bottle hard at least 6 times before you sip a capfull of the bottle or a large teaspoonful which is the dose.
Shaking the bottle hard is homeopathic succussion and this enhances the effect of the remedy on the user.

Please report his progress weekly or more often in case of need.

I failed to advise you to STOP all drugs immediately as the PPI drug Zantac you are giving him has been found to be dangerous when used for long periods.

You can check this by doing a search on Google under:

Joe,
I was able to purchase the nat phos and put him on it right away however I had to order the wet dose of arnica. So at the moment we are waiting on that but he is taking the nat phos. I have seen that you suggest for some to take the tablets while they wait for the wet dose to arrive, do you think we should do that?
As far as an update as to how he is doing:
The mornings are usually the worst and vomits at least once, upon waking yesterday I gave him his first dose after his bottle and NO VOMIT!!!!! I cried I was so happy! We also did not give him the prevacid. He also drank roughly 5oz more throughout the day and ate peas (which he was not wanting to eat much at all!) He still seems a little constipated however I'm guessing once the meds have a chance to get out of his system that will get better.
Oh.. also he was soooo happy yesterday!
Joe I can not even begin to thank you! I think you are a very special person to try to help others. I will post more results soon however if you have a comment on the arnica I would appreciate it:) have a GREAT day!
