The Reflux Blog

I close my eyes, shake my head and feel so utterly and completely deflated.  He doesn't believe me.  He doesn't think there's anything wrong.  He thinks I'm making it up and exaggerating.  But he's not in our lives except for a few hours everyday.

We have a reflux baby. No one helps.  No one understands. I've given up on the doctors and health visitors a...

Twice this last week I read of doctors stopping special milk for babies, one 6 and the other 9 months old. Both of whom had confirmed Cows Milk Protein Allergy (CMPA).

Really quick blog this week, and a lighter side to it - a high fat lunch / breakfast / dinner recipe that you're kids are going to LOVE.  It's totally free from indigestible carbs, loaded with healthy fats, filling and tasty.  No child is going to throw this one back at you!

Perhaps because she cannot bear to be at home on her own with a screaming baby, a baby who is either...

With 60% *of babies diagnosed with reflux, silent reflux, colic, CMPA and various other food allergies or intolerances, still having symptoms with the medications, I believe there has to be a better question to result in better outcomes for these babies and their families.

WOW! 260 people have responded to my survey about Reflux, Silent Reflux, Colic and food intolerances and allergies so far!  THANK YOU!

What makes me truly sad is that my experience is not uncommon. 

 So many mums have felt like...
