  Canberra M. asked:

  Hi Canberra mums, I have a six weeks old very gassy daughter who has reflux too. Now she is under GP prescript medicine"omeperazole"for reflux. I tried infant friend, gripe water and infacol for her gas/wind problem. I found infant friend did very little work and My little one will not swallow any gripe water due to the taste. I have to give her 5ml every time after feeding(crazy amount). Then infacol helped a lot for her burping and farting. But it did make her reflux worse!!! It is very painful to watch her screaming and crying all the time. If there's anyone on the same boat? Or experienced similar situation? Has any suggestions? Please!

  I was part of a trial with a Dietician Tracy Harb she specialises in babies and children. I went on a low FODMAP diet and it really helped my son. It would be worth talking to Tracy she is great. http://www.brindabellapractice.com.au/team/allied-health/ms-tracy-harb

  Canberra M. asked:

  Hi, I am looking for recommendations for a paediatrician for my 4 month old. He has been on liquid Zantac since 6 weeks of age but has been unsettled recently and showing signs of being in pain again. My local GP said he doesn't really think there is such a thing and it is just a term used for unsettled babies. I had a bit to say in response to that! To cut a long story short I ended up walking out the door with a prescription but am hesitant to go back to see him again. Can anyone recommend a paediatrician for this based on personal experience? Thanks

  

  Giulia Q. replied:

  Reflux could be due to food allergies or intolerances. Try an elimination diet. Dietitian Tracy Harb specialises in infant colic and reflux. Otherwise see Dr Joanne Edwards. If breastfeeding, cut out the top allergens (dairy, eggs, soy, peanuts, etc), and if bottle fed, get a prescription for hypoallergenic formula. You'll see an improvement after 5 days if the reflux is due to food. http://www.brindabellapractice.com.au/team/allied-health/ms-tracy-harb

  If it's for an infant, I recommend Tracy Harb. She's in Queanbeyan. http://www.brindabellapractice.com.au/team/allied-health/ms-tracy-harb https://www.som.uq.edu.au/research/research-centres/children's-nutrition-research-centre/our-people/postgraduate-students/ms-tracy-harb.aspx
