Dear Jennifer,

Most of the times, babies that have bad GER due to allergies will have
some other clues about their atopic tendencies, most common one being
eczema. There might be clues in the family history too. If neither mom nor
dad have any hx of allergic rhinitis/eczema/asthma and big brother
doesn't have Sx of these, I'd put food allergies at the bottom of the
list. A combination of Zantac and Reglan or Prilosec might be useful to
reduce the Sx of esophagitis for this baby.

I tend to mark all GER in breastfeeding infants as oversupply and/or OALD untill proven different; then try allergy and if all that is proven not, then I'll start thinking GER

In my corner of the world GER is massively overdiagnosed

Warmly
