Perhaps I should have said that most babies misdiagnosed with GERD have
food allergies or structural issues
I agree with your statement that many babies are MISDIAGNOSED with GER. I
still see no evidence that it is food allergies causing the problem. I am
not physiologist enough to know if the research supports your cytokine
theory. Human milk has many more anti-inflammatory cytokines than
pro-inflammatory cytokines and the microbiome interacts with both.
I do know that diagnoses, like many things, swing on a pendulum - like
ankyloglossia, laid-back nursing (the old Australian position), finger-feeding,
candida mastitis, etc., etc.
