Does anyone have babies with Reflux - any suggestions. Has anyone heard of using a Chiropractor? It's something I read on the web.
Call Dr. Ed Feldman's ###-###-####) office and ask for the number for dr. Cinnamon. He recently moved offices. He is the BEST pediatric gastro dr. in all of LA County. He is the best trust me.
Dr Cynthia See is an excellent pediatric gastroenterologist. shes in the valley. As a nurse i would not recommend taking a newborn to a chiropractor. there bones and cartilage are not fully deveoloped yet and are still rather soft.
I have twins that are 3.5 months old and have had reflux since about week 5. We started adding probiotics into their bottles (1/4 tsp) in the morning and in the last bottle before bedtime and it seems to have worked like a charm. I was so against putting my wee ones on Zantac, or any other kind of medication, when there were alternative options out there. We also used a product called Colic Calm, and still do, when they had severe issues. That was truly a lifesaver for us!
At this point, they are pretty much symptom-free and I attribute it to the probiotic. I have no intention of taking them off of it as both my husband and I use daily.
If you're looking for a good chiropractor, go to Universal City Medical Group and see Dr. Mike. I know they adjust babies there, they adjusted my son once. ###-###-####. I've been going there since 1999.
Best wishes!
My daughter had bad reflux starting at about 3 weeks (she is 9 months now). We tried Zantac and it did nothing for her. If you get to the point where you want to try medication, I highly recommend Zegerid. You can get more information about it here
http://www.marci-kids.com/ I worked closely with the doctor at this institute and my pediatrician to find a plan that worked for my daughter. She literally cried almost all day every day, except for naps.
