Re: OT: GERD in 4 month old

I've been told that acupuncture and homeopathy interfere with one another, since

you don't know which one is working. Alison

Sheri,

I have an article form Randall Neustaedter stating that acupuncture

and homeopathy are 2 methods of treating gerd in infants. Can these

methods be used concurrently or do you have to chose one or the

other?

,

Have they tried chiropractic? It is helping our baby with his silent reflux.

It's not a magic fix

but it does help - and he poops after every adjustment!

It's normal for an exclusively breastfed baby to have less frequent bowel

movements - lots of

BF babies don't go every day.

Hm... I do both. Not for GERD specifically, but for just about

everything. What ever you choose to do, I'd also add in Chiropractic

for the treatment of GERD. It will help balance the innerworkings of

the body, and it won't interfere with either homeopathy or

acupuncture. Again, if it were me, I'd do all three.

Oh, man, what a crock.

Love to sell those drugs to infants - not even tested in infants

Can do either or.

The medicine is more than suppressive - never tested in infants and

also side effects could add further injury

It is hard to know where to go if you start both at the same time -

won't know what to change, what to continue, what is working.

Try one thing only to begin with
