10 week old gas and frothy stool, pus eyes

I posted about my son when he was newborn with painful and smelly gas. Carbo Veg seemed to help a little with the pain and immediately the smell was gone. His poop turned from green to yellow orange. It was curdy (which is good i know), but is not anymore.

But the gas continues.
He needs a burp soon after starting nursing.
He arches his back
He bobs his head.
He pulls his legs in.
And when I burp him they are enormous sounding- sometimes with milk.
He cries after the burp and then calms down again to continue nursing.
I can feel the air pockets in his tummy and work them out.

He likes to be upright versus laying horizontal.

I spend a long time thoroughly burping after nursing, and still he will wake with more gas- from either end, very uncomfortable. Once it passes, he falls right back asleep. If he burps after some time there is often white curdy spit up that accompanies.

I have noticed his poop is frothy- not creamy and curdy like my first boy.

I have eliminated all fruit and fruit juice. All simple carbohydrates. I started eating more whole grains and nuts/seeds for protein. I have trie intermittantly eliminating various foods- eggs, tomatoes, dairy, and what little wheat I ate.

His eyes are also very very pussy. Have been since birth. Green soft watery which builds up and dries into hard crust.

Otherwise he is so happy and content. He is gaining lots of weight.
He is talkative and expressive and very smiley.

He is red haired and big for his age.
I can feel his guts running sometimes.

The gas seems worse in the evening from 8-11pm. But would continue through the night especially if I ate fruit (which I have stopped).

It seems like he is making more gas after the milk is inside- this is why I have adjusted my diet. I read about higher protein for frothy poop.

He nurses for an appropriate amount of time and gains well, so I don't think it is a foremilk hindmilk imbalance.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is just a forum. Assume posts are not from medical professionals.
Does he cry while passing stool.
Or does your child exert much when passing stool??

No crying or overexertion when passing stool.

It is clear he is pooping becase he makes a smily type face and holds his breath. He pushes, but not uncomfortably.

Thanks for the reply.

I forgot to mention I tried 2 doses of Silica 30c 24 hours apart in the evening. No help.

And my nails are splitting and peeling like crazy- they have never done this before- so I though the silic would be good for both of us.

Take a look at Podophyllyn 3x(6x) twice a day . You to take about an hour before he feeds.

Thanks for the reply.

The podo seems a good fit for all the stool/gas issues. Frothy,flatulant, etc.

No pice about eyes mentioned in Podo. Do I treat that separately after the guts are straight?

Yes get the gut right first.

Hi walkin,
I checked my kits- I only have Podo in 30c. I took one dose last ni

If you are using 30c , just take one dose 3 days in a row and stop.

Observe results and only repeat if required

for the gas problem of your child.use raphanus 30.put on or two drops of this medicine in teaspoonful of water and if you breast feed the child just wet your nipple with this medicine and feed or you can add this medicine in the feeder. i hope in few days the gas problem will be over.

Okay I am on my second day of Podo and this morning while holding one son and bending over for a toy I have strianed my lower back. It feels like a bruise- nit sharp shooting pains. I have been taking arnica 30x every 15-30 mins and I am getting much worse.

I have also been applying ice for inflammation....

First question, what to do about the baby and his gas remedy?

And should I switch to a nerve damage remedy for my back- I can't believe the arnica is not helping.
 
3carolyn last decade
You could well have split/slipped a disc. Forget Podo for the minute.
1st use Arnica (or Bellis) 1m, a dose each of three nights on going to bed.

If this does not work try Picric Acid 1m.

Hi again,
All is well. I saw my chiropractor the next day and started with arnica 200c (all I had).

As for my son, I finished the 3rd dose of podo 30c that night and stuck with ice on my back to keep him on track. Unfortunately I can't report improvement yet.
He is still full of huge burps that sometimes include digested and undigested milk.
He often cries when burping.
He needs to be thoroughly burped for 30 mins after each feeding.
He is still passing gas down below quite a bit. It doesn't appear painful.
He doesn't overexert (I think) when stooling.
The stool doen't smell particularly foul. It is not creamy or curdy.
He does save his urine for all at once in the morning. His diaper is often dry through the whole night and then at around 5-7am he starts peeing like crazy. He can fill 2-3 diapers. he moves a lot in his sleep while peeing, but doesn't appear to be in pain.

And I forgot... his eyes are as bad as ever. Pussy.

I did order the raphanus to have on hand. Please let me know what you think.

Thanks again,
Carolyn
 
3carolyn last decade
Try raphanus and report.
 
walkin last decade
I have had no luck with raphanus.
Gas is as bad as ever- pussy eyes too.
Sleep is becoming very disturbed. Wakes up with guts running and gurgling and burps with spit up or passes gas down below. Usually gas of any sort accompanied by much crying. Any advice is appreciated.

Get silica 6x and take twice a day before feeds.

If you get from this site watch the spelling they have a member of the Bluebell family Scilla maratima down as Silica .

If you get from this site spell it Silicea!.
 
walkin last decade
Since you have tried many remedies for your baby which have not really helped, would you like to use one tablet Nat Phos 6x which you may dissolve and feed her ?

I presume that you are aware that whatever medicine you take for your back will also be transferred to your baby through your breast milk.

Arnica will not help your back. I believe that Rhus Tox 1M and Hypericum 200c both to be taken preferably in the water dose may be more effective. But please remember that your baby will also be also taking these remedies through your breast milk.
