I completely understand Nicole!!! I had someone bring me a meal and I asked her if it had any dairy in it and she said "oh no, no milk, I just used cream of chicken soup"! *sigh* I had a sandwich instead.
I'd check with your ped about a meds change - are you just doing zantac? It's super weight sensitive, and it didn't work for us, so it's worth trying a meds change first.
There's no way I could do a total elimination diet, I just don't have enough help there, and I'd still be cooking regular stuff for dh and dd1. But I think I can do one additional elimination at a time for 5 days and see. If I know it's time limited, I can do it. Now, if I find that 5 days of no gluten does the trick, the question will be can I keep that up, and at this point, I don't know. I'm waiting to hear what our GI specialist says first though.
The down side to switching to formula is that if it's anatomical reflux, she'll be just as uncomfortable on formula as she will be on bm, so I don't gain anything there. I don't know if it's worth it to do a trial of formula (while pumping to keep up supply) to see if it makes a difference, and if it doesn't then switch back to bfing. Has anyone tried that?
