I'm so sorry I've missed this post alltogether #-o Matilda got constipated when on gaviscon as well and went onto Zantac, which helped her constipation instantly. On the Karicare, Matilda was on the thickened formula when she did have it (she was bf with comp feeds, for the first 16 weeks) She was on the Karicare AR which is the thickened formula for reflux. When she went fully formula she started getting blocked up again and we changed her to the Karicare HA AR which is an easier to digest thickened formula. When she was 8-9 months we changed her over to the NAN HA which is not thickened but still easier to digest as she wasn't as refluxy but found she wasn't able to handle the regular formula. The NAN HA is an Easy Digest formula and it worked wonders... she went to the NAN 2HA for older babies.... She's been having gastro problems again atm and is back on the NAN 2HA....

I was told about all the differences to formulas by the ECHN and other mums with refluxy babies. I found a support group in our city that had mums with bubs with reflux get together for a morning tea to get together and chat. HERE is a link to a discussion we've had here on BellyBelly about reflux & I'm sure we've discussed formula's & poos in great detail
