not colic

I started out nursing...the baby began spitting up/vomitting...lost weight..positive for occult blood...tried nutramigen...still occult blood.  Saw peds GI..."allergy"...put on elecare...continued vomitting,  crying all the time.
upper GI series:  severe reflux
on elecare, prevacid, rice cereal in bottles...finally negative for occult blood.
vomitting,  lost 5 ounces,  crying all the time
help?  what else could it be?  should I go back to nursing?

Allergy to what?

[3fears]

A milk protein allergy...
she had an ultrasound this am...negative...everything "normal"

Try to find some food witout fructose/sucrose. Maybe you can try to start nursing again. Are you taking some medicines?

[boron]

Just want to say that fructose malabsorption or hereditary fructose intolerance (HFI) is possible.

took her off elecare...first ingredient is corn syrup...seems better????

[boron]

Corn syrup itself is not problematic, but it is possible that it is "high fructose corn syrup (HFCS)", which can cause diarrhea in fructose malabsorption.

Avoid: any fruits, any fruit juices, honey, corn syrup and sorbotol (sorbitol is  a sugar alcohol, on labels it is referred as polyols). He can have table sugar but in limited amount, since it contains fructose.

*Read my journals about low-fructose diet.
