My baby fights with every bottle and will only eat 4 oz every 4 hrs. His dr. Says he could have acid reflux but treatment has too many side affects. I’m worried that my baby is suffering what do I do?

Answer by Seeker of truth
First off be weary of needless medical diagnosis, there are a lot of doctors who like to diagnose “conditions and diseases” as a means of pushing medications for personal financial gain that only create more problems than they alleviate. The medical industry can be a very twisted business. I say this bc “acid reflux” is a fancy way of saying you have colicy baby and making parents feel as if they need to shove harmful drugs down their childrens throats. Colic will pass, try a new formula made esp for easing colic and a new bottle that does the same. Try not to give your child any drugs if its not necessary.

Article by Andrew McNaught

An unpleasant burning sensation rising from your stomach, through your chest to your throat. This is the heartburn feeling that people with acid reflux often experience. It is caused by acid backwashing from the stomach and breaking the barrier between the stomach and the esophagus. If this condition persists the sufferer may find that their esophagus becomes scarred and can result in equally unpleasant choking feelings occurring.

As with a large number of medical conditions and diseases, modifying one’s diet can be the best way to treat acid reflux. Eating the correct acid reflux diet is often preferable to the kinds of treatments that are required when the condition becomes more severe such as surgery or taking prescribed medication.

It is not just important to consider what you eat as part of a good acid reflux diet but also when you eat. Many people with acid reflux complain that the worst time they get it is during the night and it causes a disturbed sleep. This of course has negative impacts on the entire following day, and so acid reflux can really begin to control their lives. The key to avoiding overnight acid reflux is to not eat for around 3 hours before going to bed. Since acid is only produced by the stomach in order to help it digest food, not eating will mean less acid and less chance of overnight acid reflux.

So, taking this into account, if you have acid reflux you should also consider exactly the foods you eat that contribute to it the most. There are certain types of food that are known to cause the drastically increased acid production in the stomach that results in acid reflux. Firstly, reducing meal size is the first step in forming an effective acid reflux diet. Try eating more meals but of smaller size as this should cause less acid to be produced.

Which foods should be most avoided then? Here, I list the main culprits that help to cause acid reflux disease:

- Greasy and fatty foods especially animal and dairy products.

- Chocolate

- Caffeine

- Mint and mint flavored food

- Spicy foods such as Indian and Mexican food

- Citrus foods and juice

- Alcohol

I am sure I have just listed many of your favorite foods and you may be reluctant to give up eating them. The key is not to give up everything entirely but eat things in moderation. If you have a large Indian take-away and wash it down with several glasses of wine then you should not be surprised when heartburn strikes. So, instead of overeating on the above foods you should form an acid reflux diet centered on plant based foods, fresh fruits and vegetables, beans and wholegrain breads and cereals. Some of the above foods can be mixed in moderately as treats, rather than forming the core of your diet.

If you feel that changing your diet does not eliminate acid reflux by itself, then you may need to consider other treatments such as antacids or prescribed medicine. However, it is important to give your new acid reflux diet enough time to take effect and for you to get used to the change.

If not treated, severe acid reflux can result in some very serious problems. This is why managing acid reflux disease is so important. Here we look at some conditions that can be a result of severe acid reflux and also some suggestions for managing acid reflux disease. Severe acid reflux can lead to esophagitis. The esophagus is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. Muscles in the lower esophagus normally prevent stomach acid from coming back up into the esophagus, but when a person suffers from mild, moderate or severe acid reflux, the muscles do not stop the acid from entering the esophagus and this stomach acid can cause pain and inflammation of the esophagus, which is caused esophagitis. Managing acid reflux disease is all about preventing acid from leaking back up into the esophagus. Sometimes, when severe acid reflux damages the lining of the esophagus, scarring and narrowing of the esophagus occurs. This scarring and narrowing is called strictures and can prevent food and liquids from reaching the stomach. Since strictures affect the ability to eat and drink, it must be treated by stretching and enlarging the esophagus to prevent other health problems that can arise from a lack of proper nutrition. Managing acid reflux disease, before it becomes severe can prevent damage to the esophagus, thus preventing strictures from forming. In cases where severe acid reflux results in esophagitis, esophageal bleeding or ulcers may occur. A condition called …

They started around last June, when I was put on Yaz birth control to regulate my periods (which were constant and never seemed to stop). I started to get panic attacks, and decided around October/November to stop taking the pill in case that was the cause. The panic attacks went away, but I began to get a feeling in my throat called “globus hystericus” (basically, my throat will either feel incredibly swollen or like there is something stuck inside, nothing cures it-neither sleep, nor diet, nor excersise-but there is NO pain). That feeling went away for a little bit but then returned around December/January, and then was replaced by horrible acid reflux/feelings of nausea/upset stomach. My doctor put me on Prevacid for that, which seemed to cure it, until now, when all those symptoms began randomly coming back (especially the swollen throat feeling). I’ve gone back to having irregular menstrual cycles that usually consist of prolonged spotting, and I constantly have discharge. Sometimes when I eat, I feel like my stomach has trouble digesting and I just overall feel weird, like my stomach is “clogged” or something, although there is usually no pain and I am constantly needing to use the restroom (if I wait even five minutes too long, I feel overall sick inside). I also have trouble with tiredness/lack of concentration/mood swings, although I think I’ve always been sort of like that, to an extent. My roommate has been telling me about Candida overgrowth, and I have a feeling that may be a cause of my symptoms, although I don’t know for sure because I don’t really know whether the extent to which I feel this way is legit or psychological. I have been trying out the diet for around three days now, but I’m very small and I fear the “die off” symptoms may actually mean more harm than good for me, especially since I’m not sure if I really have it or not, although I incredibly suspect that I do. As far as antibiotics go, I usually get a sinus infection at least twice a year, and have always been put on antibiotics for 1-2 weeks to cure it (it’s always worked). Last fall/winter, I unusually had three within only a few months and went on antibiotics as nothing else cured it. I really don’t trust doctors and I am a college student with limited resources, as far as seeing a natural doctor/being on meds goes. Can somebody please give me a little help? Thanks!
