TO all with children that have Acid Reflux

[momoftwo378]

I have posted several times to parents about Colic Calm.   I figured I would just do a posting by its self for everyone to read.   My son is almost 5 months old now.  We have been giving him Colic Calm twice a day now for about 2 1/2 - 3 months.   It has been a life saver.   He could only eat 1/2 oz at a time than would scream.  He would throw himself back, pull legs up to chest and just scream for hours and hours along with not sleeping.   We switched formula's think it was that at first-from Enf. Lipil to Soy.   Took to dr whom put him on Zytanx and Mylanta.  I did some research myself and found Colic Calm.  Had the Ped. look into web page to see first if it was safe to give....I got the green light.  Ever since than he is a completely different child.   First of all he is happy-coo's and laughs.   He is eating 6 oz at a time.  Doesn't scream, throw himself back or pull legs up anymore.   He is a whole different child.   I have copied and pasted info on COLIC CALM from the Web page for parents our there that might want to take a look into it.  

COLIC CALM

A Homeopathic Blend of Chamomile, Fennel, Caraway, Peppermint, Ginger, Aloe, Lemon Balm, Blackthorn and Vegetable Charcoal.  Directly off web page for Colic Calm.    Below I copied and pasted off web page.....

Chamomilla (Chamomile)
Great for easing the colic symptoms of irritability, nervous tension and anxiousness. Chamomile is one of the best and most commonly used remedies for insomnia and restlessness, especially effective when baby is hypersensitive to pain.

Foeniculum Vulgare (Fennel)
Inhibits spasms in smooth muscles, like those in the intestinal tract. Fennel has long been used by herbalists for indigestion and as a gas-relieving and gastrointestinal tract cramp-relieving agent. It also provides pain-reducing and anti-microbial actions.

Carum Carvi (Caraway)
Has been used effectively for over 5,000 years to relieve flatulence, heartburn and indigestion. Caraway is widely recognized as an antispasmodic for mild spasms of the gastrointestinal tract.

Mentha Piperita (Peppermint)
An excellent digestive aid that is well known for its ability to induce the expulsion of gas from the stomach and intestines. Peppermint also has antispasmodic effects and stimulates bile flow. As early as the Middle Ages, ancient doctors knew what modern science has confirmed – enhancing and rebalancing the body’s bile secretions are essential for the treatment of indigestion including gastric acid reflux.

Zingiber Officinale (Ginger)
An outstanding soothing natural medicine for the gastrointestinal tract. Like peppermint, ginger has been shown to beneficially influence gastric mobility while also exerting antispasmodic effects. It is also a very effective remedy for nausea.

Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm)
Known for its relaxing and gas-relieving (carminative) effects. Also shown to be effective in treating insomnia and improving quality of sleep. Lemon balm is frequently combined with peppermint for soothing upset stomach.

Aloe Socotrina (Aloe)
Useful for gas, rumbling in the stomach, and cramping prior to stool. Also helps relieve bloating and pain over the liver region.

Prunus Spinosa (Blackthorn)
Relieves pressure of abdominal flatulence which can cause cramp-like and aching pains in the bladder region. Also relaxes spasmodic colic and restores regularity.

Carbo Vegetabilis (Vegetable Carbon)
Recognized for its ability to eliminate toxins in the body. Provides relief from gas, indigestion, abdominal distention with cramping pains, and belching.

Carbo Vegetabilis (Vegetable Charcoal) H.U.S.P
Charcoal, or carbon as it is also called, is the most abundant element on earth. Carbon is an important element; the human body is composed of 18% carbon by weight (70% of the body is water). The form of carbon used in homeopathic medicine is Carbo Vegetabilis (Vegetable Charcoal) H.U.S.P. (Homeopathic United States Pharmacopeia), a pure, naturally-produced, non-carcinogenic vegetable carbon. This carbon that we use has been ground into a fine, black, odorless and tasteless powder. It is tested for utmost purity, and is completely safe for human consumption. It works by a process called adsorption - which means that it has the amazing ability to attract other substances to its surface and hold them there (this is scientifically different from absorption, which means to incorporate or assimilate a substance).  On its way though the digestive tract, it collects toxins and contaminants via adsorption. It also adsorbs gases, thus relieving flatulence, bloating and gas pains. It is fully excreted in bowel movements, so it will temporarily darken stools. Because vegetable charcoal is not a drug, it has no direct action on any organ of the body; it does not enter the bloodstream, nor is it absorbed into the body. All of it passes out of the body system naturally and easily, along with the gases and toxins it has collected on its journey. It is without rival as a cleansing agent and in assisting the healing process of the body as well as preventing intestinal infections. Reference – Journal of the American Medical Association
