D'oh ! We are lucky and have the appointment with Dr Christie next week so we'll go anyway.

At least I think I'll have a few bases covered when we go to see him. He'll tell me to stop dairy and I'll be able to say that I did that a month ago, hidden stuff and all. He might tell me to stop eating wheat and I'll be able to tell him about the ridiculous total elimination diet I'm on that excludes just about everything. I've tried changing bottle teats and every simple suggestion for feeding that I can find (not that that accounts for the non-feeding misery), so if he can come up with something other than reflux for our problems then more power to him!

I don't understand why reflux is "believed in" by some doctors but not others.

I agree that information is limited on Australian sites. I was horrified to discover that some kids actually do require long term tube feeding , which is what I thought might be necessary on some of our darkest days. And I'm sure surgeons don't perform surgery on the really unlucky little ones for something that doesn't exist.

I am kicking myself that I didn't get around to taping a feed on the camera before the losec first kicked in. I should have done it, pyjamas and all (why is it you always remember to do these things only when its not convenient ).

I've heard on another site that teething, immunisations and being unwell with viruses etc can all stir reflux up again so I am really hoping thats the case with us and that things settle down again.

Caro, I've emailed you those links. I've found them very useful, especially the last one I gave you for general information.

Thank you all for putting up with my ranting . I'll try to go back to be a normal, rational person now...
