Owen (10m2w) has had reflux since birth - after 4 meds we found one 2m ago that has worked awesome. Owen has been on Alimentum since 6w. I gave him yogurt, cheese when he was 7m. He didn't show any symptoms of not handling it except for his poo were NASTY. I stopped giving the whole milk yogurt and cut waaaay back on the cheeses and started using Soy yogurt - the nasty ass poops stopped. After about 6 weeks, yesterday I trialed whole milk yogurt again and again we got NASTY poops but no signs of tummy ache or gas.
With 12m approaching, I am thinking he isn't going to be able to handle milk. We have never tried lactose free products. I don't know if its the lactose of the milk protein causing the poops. Is it OK to continue with the Alimentum into his toddlerhood? Our GI wants to start weaning the Zegerid at 12m - I haven't asked about the Alimentum, but I'm thinking perhaps we should keep the Alimentum until after that wean is done? I am not sure I am even making sense here. I just know I do NOT want him to go back to having pain and discomfort from reflux.
Ack!
