MSPI question - help!

[skiesthelimit]

Can MSPI babies have lactose? Our naturopath just prescribed Nat. Phos. 6x for A to help treat his reflux. It's a homeopathic tissue salt. It contains lactose. She's off today so I can't call her. She knows we're dairy free so I can't imagine she would tell us to give him something he couldn't have. Ugh.

I think it's a grey area. Sorry, I don't know more but I always avoided it out of my own paranoia.

[thedahliharpa]

I think a lot of the homeopathic stuff contains lactose though.

Hmmm, I would assume not but they are different. Lactose is the sugar in milk products rights? It has nothing to do with the actual milk protein.

I'd probably wait and see if I could get in touch with her tomorrow.

How's it going with the corn stuff?

[skiesthelimit]

Man this sucks. His reflux is really bad today. Really bad. She said to try this for 24 hours and if not better restart prevacid.

[skiesthelimit]

It took 2 full weeks for the prevacid to start working. It's been 4 days without now and reflux is back. I'm scared to wait too long before I restart incase I have to wait another 2 weeks for him to get better. I can't wait till tomorrow. It seems like forever away.

[imimahoney]

Well then I would try the new stuff. He might not have a problem with it and if his symptoms get worse then you know he can't handle it.

Hugs!

No corn is going ok. His cradle cap is drying up and his poop has been yellow. Still mucous but no blood or green. So that's a good sign!

That is really good!!

[shevacc]

Really glad the no corn is helping! I also agree I'd give it a shot and see if the Naturopath's remedy seems to help or hurt. Hopefully you have it all figured out soon!

Because his reflux is getting out of control again. We are worried about the constant reflux harming his esophagus and he has been miserable all day. He is much worse now than he was on the prevacid. I'm hoping that if I cut out all corn and corn byproducts from my diet, the minimal amount of corn in the prevacid won't hurt him. I guess right now it's just a matter of which is the lesser evil. It sucks. The no corn is improving his poop and cradle cap but the no prevacid is making his reflux worse. He's been screaming and refluxing all day

I think it was pretty much a fail. He was really bad last night. Pumping his legs, thrashing his head around, screaming. Waiting for her to call me this afternoon and see what to do now. I will either wait a day or two and see how he does, or if his reflux is really bad today I'll give him prevacid and wait until we see the GI on the 8th. He is the sweetest thing ever. He will be screaming and pumping his legs, in obvious pain, and then will look at me and smile. It breaks my heart. Love him.

[imimahoney]

I'm so sorry that it wasn't the result that you had hoped for. I really hope the GI can help you soon.
