What's wrong with my 2 month old?

[atlgirrl06]

My daughter was a full term healthy baby.  She was fine her first couple of weeks at home until all of a sudden at 5 weeks, she started vomiting everything.  I tried Pedialyte and that came back up too so  I was told by my pediatrician to take her to the children's hospital emergency room on March 27th and they wanted to keep her overnight.  Overnight turned into two weeks.  They gave her an NJ tube because she started losing weight  and wasn't keeping anything down. She started spitting up clear frothy fluids and the gastros had no idea what it could be.  They just treated it like it was nothing.  Every test they did came out normal. Blood tests, x rays, mri's, etc. They ruled out pyloric stenosis and determined that she had a bad case of reflux and slow motility and we were forced to go home on the tube with Reglan and Prevacid on April 9th.  She still couldn't take anything by mouth and we were told to just try sips of Pedialyte or breastmilk throughout the day. I was devastated.  My completely healthy newborn all of a sudden at 5 weeks requires a tube to eat?  To speed things up, on May 2nd, I noticed my daughter was sleeping more than normal.  23 hours to be exact.  The clear frothy stuff was now blood tinged, she sweats excessively, and wheezes sometimes.  We were sent home from the emergency room but as soon as I put her in the car she coughed twice then projectile vomited a lot of mucousy looking clear fluid and it smelled really really bad.  She did it again when I took her to her doctor the next day when I put her in the car this time it was greenish brown looking.  She coughed then vomited like 5 more times at the gastro doctor's office and he admitted her to the hospital and gave her Carafate and did an endoscopy that came out normal.  She was doing fine until yesterday, she started the vomiting again. She is in the hospital once again with new symptoms. We've been here for a week and once again no one knows what's going on. Please help me!

Good to hear back from you, so let me get this right first they no it wasnt your breast milk then they said yes your Baby was allergic to your milk?so is she still on the Prevacid and Reglan?are you still breast feeding or on formula now,

The doctors said it wasn't my breastmilk because if it was she would've just been vomiting the breastmilk and not everything.  They ruled that out the first time she was in the hospital.  They had done an entire work upon me but they determined that she was allergic to my breastmilk and that was a relief to me.  They sent her home on Reglan and Prevacid bur the vomiting never stopped.  Since the first time she was hospitalized until now it has never stopped, it just got worse.I talked to the GI doctor and he said he is going to see what tests he can redo from the first time she was in the hospital since she is showing new symptoms.  They said if they couldn't find anything then they are going to consult with surgeons.

I am so sorry, this is horribly worrying for you, you may want to try putting this onto the expert/Doctor forum for better answers, I think at this presant time as she is in hospital all you can do is realise they will find a reason, and insist they keep her until you do have an answer, this will probably be too simple , but as you are breast feeding what do you eat as a rule I have known Mothers whose babies have been allergic to the Moms milk due to Mom eating something baby was allergic to, they may have already asked you about this, tell us what you eat and drink on a regular basis.Has she had any medication either from earlier or is she taking any now?Did anything happen just prior to the begining of the first attack of vomiting.I mean in the way of her ingesting anything that could cause a reaction. Please come back to us and let us know how she is doing,
