Avatar f tn I feel Gerd and milk allergy are grossly overdiagnosed in infants. Lactose overload has been diagnosed in breast-fed infants now - and I believe it is also found in babies.
7381903 tn?1391464888 Already moms.. Does anybody know any gas remedies for infants other than moving their legs around. Has anyone tried gas drops ?. My 5week older has been screaming her head off, she's gassy .
Avatar f tn I had this problem in my first trimester, I had really bad trapped gas it was so painful I would lay on my side just waiting for relief and it would take forever. I would try different positions to try and get some release but it only lasted my first trimester, by my second it went away thank god. Maybe talk to your doctor for any help, or look online for suggestions. I'm pretty sure there is stuff you can take to help relieve the gas.
Avatar f tn I just had gas drops and baby Tylenol. Other than that if you need anything a doctor will recommend it. But, you shouldn't really need anything much more than that for the first couple months.
1361044 tn?1277598308 Honestly, in my opinion, babies are so wrapped up in this new world, all the new things going in for them, that a little cold (virus) hardly slows them down. it could be your baby is behind because she doesn't feel well all the time, and THAT is holding her back. Maybe not, but in either case I would push for them to figure it out. Chalking it all down to a virus is a lazy, sorry excuse. My point is, YOU DO know your child more than anyone.
Avatar n tn I avoided spicy foods and food that causes gas. I took Gas-Ex from time to time when the gas pain was severe. I took Pepto Bismol when I had diarrhea and cramping. I also took over the counter acid reducers for heartburn. My recommendation is to ask for a referral right away to a gynecologist and find out what other tests should be completed to further evaluate and treat the cyst.
Avatar m tn m home and feel the urge to poop, I kneel on my workdesk chair, I rest my elbows on the workdesk and while playing a computer game or surfing the net i fart out and then suck that gas in through the anus by contracting some *** muscles. I start getting hot and after a period of maybe 15 minutes when I start sweating I usually feel that the excrament has reached the anus and then I go poop.
Avatar m tn I am suffering with Gas problems for 3-4 years. Excess gas forming and much odor (bad smell) and this make me upset.

There is little bit problems for Piles, and motion is not normal.

432779 tn?1364494875 thermometer, suction bulb (but they should give that to you in the hospital), nail clippers, gas drops. You shouldn't use infant tylenol unless a doctor recommends it and even then I think the earliest is like 3 months.

Avatar f tn I'm guessing gas.. Try some gas drops and do the Sun&Moon on his tummy to help pass gas if that's the problem. Has you recently switched from breast milk to formula or to plain milk?
Avatar f tn It is well known that vitamin B12 deficiency causes developmental delay and brain atrophy in infants and children. This has been reported in medical journals and texts since the 1960’s. The medical community (pediatricians, neurologists) is not routinely checking children who present with the first concern of developmental delay for B12 deficiency which is problematic and a clinical error.

Avatar m tn I had a new cut on my finger maybe 10 minutes old that was NOT bleeding anymore and I pumped gas and opened the door at the gas station etc touching things with that finger. I am not sure what is on the door handles etc. what is my risk from something like this? 3. Is kissing or sharing a drink or food proven to be a risk for hiv infection? Thank you so much everyone.
Avatar n tn My five month old daugther gets horrible, painful, gas everytime we try stage 1 baby food. I have tried rice cereal, peas, carrots, squash, sweet potatos, prunes and apple sauce. The only baby food she can tolerate is single grained oatmeal. I have bought all the brands and made my own. I will give her just 4 small spoonfuls once a day to test her and we are battling gas all day and night. We had a similar issue with her formula until I tried soy Similac.

Avatar f tn It will remain in baby's system. Especially if you took them for more than 2 weeks. You need to let your OB know even if it leaves both systems because if you we're abusing them and taking them for a long period of time we can't diagnose the outcome. No judgement, but please for the sake of your innocent baby tell your Dr. You made the right decision to stop taking them. Best wishes!
20868200 tn?1552856578 t have kidney stones, but have had nine abdominal surgeries including a bowel obstruction, and an inttususception, a bowel twisting that usually happens in infants... Over the past months, I have had bad pain that lasts for hours after I had a bowel movement. I am not constipated, or have very loose stools.. I am sitting here in pain as we speak... I have no insurance, so I can't run to anyone for help!
Avatar m tn I have had a history of digestive problems for years, mostly with loose stool, gas, acid re-flux and constant nausea. I was recently diagnosed with chronic pancreatitis, and I have changed my diet dramatically. I no longer eat fatty, spicy or acidic foods, and I have cut alcohol and caffeine out of my diet completely. My current diet is now oatmeal for breakfast. Raisins, a turkey on wheat sandwich (no other toppings) and a pudding for lunch.
