GI Doctor


Okay, just back from the GI Doctor at Children's Hospital. She actually believes that he still does have reflux issues, and that the allergy stuff isn't something to be too concerned about. To be honest, we didn't understand a lot of what she told us. She talked about how his immune and digestive systems are apparently attacking the proteins in his formula causing his reactions such as the severe eczema and digestive issues. She has suggested we switch to Nestle Good Start which has their proteins partially broken down already. She also prescribed a concoction for of meds for us to give him for the reflux. We have to mix Mylanta with Zegerid and give him a set amount 3 times a day. Uhhhh...more meds. This will actually replace the Prevacid and the Zantac though. She said we should hold off on the solid foods until we get him ironed out on his formula too. So, we're off to buy this new formula and get his prescriptions filled. We will go back to see her in 3 weeks to see how it's going. Stay tuned...
