Sick baby

[Guest guest]

Well, yet another friend with gut issues, and so I turn to those who I know have

dealth with stuff like this before. My friend Gail has a six week old baby boy.

Since about two or three weeks old, he has come to the point where he is never

happy. He wakes up, and he cries. She nurses him, and he cries. He just cries

all the time. For the past couple of weeks, he has diharea and occassional

vomitting. Of course, the pediatrician is telling her that there is nothing

wrong with him. Give me a break. Anyone with some common sense knows that it

is not normal for a breast fed baby so young to be having chronic diharea and

occassional vomitting and never being content. I've not dealt with this issue

before, but here are my initial reactions. Mommy needs to change her diet. Of

course, SCD would be ideal, but she at least needs to experiment with removing

the starchier grains, potatoes, ect., and perhaps dairy. I also having the

inclination that she should start giving him an acidopholus supplement. I have

been told by my DAN dietician that I should open a capsule, and sprinkle the

contents into my baby's mouth(when I have the next one). I would like to know

if anyone else has dealth with this same type of thing. It seems that I've read

posts similar to this. Please let me know what kind of diagnosis(if any) your

child ended up with. Who did you go to, and what kind of testing was run? Just

any info you can help me to pass on to Gail. She is definitely troubled by

this, and doesn't believe that this is normal even though the pediatrician is

telling her it is fine. Thanks for your help.
