The elimination diet is OVER!! :!: I'm happy to report that nothing I eat seems to bother Gabe or aggravate his reflux. So I'm saying goodbye to the elimination diet and HELLO to real food! It's so nice to eat yogurt again. I like not having to stress… more »

I just realized recently that everything with Gabe's reflux is getting better! I figured I'd better post about it since I certainly whine enough on here. Gabe is doing much, much better lately. He's on Zantac twice a day and Prevacid twice a day. I h… more »

We are STILL having problems with Gabe's medicine!! I called the dr's office and spoke to the same medical assistant I talked to before. She pulled his chart and was mystified as to what the problem is. She said that, according to her notes, she called t… more »

Argh. I hate medication. I hate insurance. I was on the phone for forever yesterday trying to get Gabe's reflux medication refilled. We've been going back and forth with the Dr's office and the pharmacy. They have been going back and forth between eac… more »

Nights have been progressively worse. I'm exhausted. I can tell when I'm really tired because I start feeling weepy. Luke's party is on Saturday and I'm feeling so overwhelmed with all the stuff I still have to do that I wish I could call it off. Ther… more »

I am so tired of this darn reflux crud. Gabe has had mostly had great days and good nights. He's had 2 great nights recently - only waking up once to feed. It was awesome. But then the past 2 nights have been TERRIBLE. Poor babe is very reflux-y and can'… more »

I don't know what day I'm on. I need to count it out. I had wheat yesterday. And corn. Stupid to try 2 big things at once, but with as much running around as we've been doing it's hard to find food to eat quickly. Gabe seemed okay today, but his diaper w… more »

I'm started being very vigilant about block nursing. Gabe went through a period there where his poops weren't the normal yellow - they were green instead. I did a bunch of reading and learned that green poop is normal for some babies, but it's often a si… more »
