Anne asks:  do any of you know whether the gastro-oesophagul reflux exists
as a phenomenon independent of dairy allergy?

Yes, it occurs even in the absence of cow-milk or other allergy. Allergy
should be suspected in all reflux cases, according to two recent articles.
Reflux can be associated with pressure on the vagus nerve from misaligned
cranial bones (especially the occiput) following a difficult birth. I've
seen some dramatic reduction of reflux following cranial-sacral therapy or
osteopathic manipulative therapy. If you see reflux, check for facial or
postural asymmetry and/or suck irregularities as well.
