A little Health update on Reflux

UPDATE

Confusion: so one of our learning points is that it is easy to get confused. Imagine, you’re child is being sick and losing weight. Then they give you Domperidone, Lactulose and Lameprozol. So you’re tired, stressed and your kid is still being ill; now you’ve got to figure out cause and effect but with the huge extra confusion of all these extra drugs which all have their impact on the internal system. It's not possible - you can only really understand these problems if you have one variable. i.e. one thing at a time.

Lactulose- so we have been told this sugary stuff does not react with the body in any way so you can give as much as you want (it sort of lines the insides and makes it all flow through faster). Anyway, constipation we understand is common with other digestion problems particularly in infants where immaturity of the inside bits is a factor. We think perhaps we didn’t give enough of this medicine- we are still giving it and have upped the amount to a point where she is being regular with the right consistency. Basically, it sounds obvious but if the baby’s isn’t pooping, going to struggle to digest- so…..keep it pooping! We suspect that some of the other drugs may not have been helping with the constipation; although she is now off them all (except this) and still has constipation so…still unsure.
