Reflux formula

Hey, my babies has been on Kendamil formula since day one, she’s reflux and has recently been given infant gaviscon from doctors however it’s made her really badly constipated to the point it’s making her bleed! We went back to the doctors today and they were no help just told me to decrease the gaviscon. I think I might try changing her formula any suggestions for reflux babies?

I had this exact same problem, go back to the doctors and ask for lactulose. It’s made a big difference for my baby. It’s disgusting that they haven’t given you anything to help 🫠 maybe ask to see a different doctor ?

I also rub my baby’s belly in clockwise directions in the bath to help get her digestive system going and do bicycle legs with her :) x

@Caitlin I have some lactalose bottle drops they haven’t worked x

There’s another medication that the doctors can give for reflux that’s better for constipation, my cousins baby is on it, I’m just unsure what it’s called. I’d say definitely go back to the doctors and see a different doctor x

Omeprazole or carobel ? X

My baby has just experienced the exact same and she was severely constipated from gaviscon making her poo really solid. Went back to the doctors today they prescribed her a medication for reflux called omeprazole and also a constipation relief. I personally would be asking to go back and get something else! X

My little girl was on kendamil and suffered from reflux too! We had the exact same situation with the gaviscon so we ended up stopping it! We changed to kendamil comfort milk formula and it’s made a difference! She’s not constipated and it seems to have also helped with her reflux a bit x

We are on the Kendamil comfort milk too and it makes a difference, makes my lo more regular! You can get it from boots 😊

@Emily I was back at the doctors yesterday all they said was to reduce the amount of gaviscon in her bottles and eventually take her off of x

My little girl has kendamil and has really bad silent reflux we now add carobel in each bottle and she has omeprazole every day and is like a different baby! X
