thankyou so much! thats who i am going to see the doctor who worked at the childrens hospital with premmie babies, he discovered DS2 had reflux and had a wonderful plan set out for him if he did not grow out of it (thankfully he did) so i think its a must for DS3, i know his 1st cousin had the same problem as a baby, his 2nd cousin on my side had a similar problem, my sister was on a soy when a baby so it does run in the family if its a gentetic thing? one of our nieces who is 13 has a allergy to dairy wheat gluten etc, so we are always cautious and seeing signs of intollerances to things. also sometimes his poop is stringy? but never a nice colour always different shades of green, he's been like this since birth sometimes seedy like newborn poo but the smell even when passing wind its loud and foul too. when he spits up sometimes its clear with speckles (little dots) of milk the others never did that, and it concerned me alot, all these little things dont add up when they tohught colic and wind i have tried colic and wind remedys and nothing works. i dont know if it can cause damage if he does have an intollerance and is just left to suffer IYKWIM. the other 2 were happy babies, and DS3 is happy but cries alot after a bottle when he spits up (which comes out through his nose still!) and if he has gas or poo's he's very upset (it sounds acidy you can hear it?) i use pampers nappies as they have a mesh which catches the more together items, and absorbs the acid and watery stuff which has helped keep his little bum clear from rashes.
