Infant reflux help
My daughter is 3 1/2 months old and is suffering from reflux. The doctors have put her on prevacid and zantac. The prevacid caused her to become constipated and I am really not happy having her on such strong meds. I have read on different threads and seen a lot of recommendations for nat phos. I have also seen some other suggestions and I am just wondering what I should try first. She has silent reflux so her symptoms are arching her back and crying while you can hear her gargling in the back of her throat. She has a lot of trouble nursing and is constantly pulling off and choking. She likes to be held upright. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!Drue2323 on 2012-08-08

Hi I have read that
Aethusia 30 is the ideal homeopathic medicine for those babies who cannot tolerate breastmilk and have vomiting, regurgitation and/or silent reflux. It has been said to give this medicine twice a day until symptoms improve. Best to consult a qualified Homemopath to confirm.
If you are breastfeeding it is important toremove all dairy products from your diet for 3 weeks and see if your baby inproves. Your baby may be lactose intolerant or even allergic to the whey, so if you are bottle feeding place your baby on a lactose-free or whey free formula for 3 weeks. Hope this helps.
