<< This MD says he diagnoses 10-11 cases of breastmilk allergy every month >>

well, i would't take my dog to him, then. but the important thing to remember
about reflux is that the meds only help one specific type of problem that
causes reflux (delayed gastric emptying) and the meds don't always help that.
this business of saying "reflux" and prescribing meds and figuring that is
all there is to the story is just sloppy medicine. this mother and baby need
to be seeing some specialists (here in denver there is a feeding clinic at
the children's hospital), for a start. of course breastfeeding is best,
children with true reflux do best on breastmilk, it is far less irritating
than any other food.

and of course this baby could also have some food sensitivities as well, or
other medical problems, so there needs to be a good evaluation.
