[quote=Anonymous]Hi all, I appreciate the responses.  I'm on an elimination diet because she reacts to a lot of allergens (wheat, dairy, eggs) by getting extremely mucousy poops and blood.  I wouldn't be worried if she was just gassy and poopy or just spitty.  She hasn't been tested, but if I eat a scrambled egg and a day later there's blood in her poop...well that's enough for me to stay away from them.  I know elimination diets are controversial/considered faddy, and others may not feel that way, but this is what works for us.  I can still eat fruit, veggies, and meat, just not all my high carb comfort foods :).

As for all babies having reflux, I do know that.  My first was a big spitter.  BUT my daughter from the beginning was screaming and pulling away every few minutes when feeding, wouldn't sleep on her back for longer than 10 min, would projectile vomit practically all milk, and had started a nursing/bottle strike from the pain.  This is not your average spitty baby!  We were on the verge of hospitalization.  I didn't want meds, but the minute they kicked in, it was like a different baby.  So again, others may choose to keep baby med free and deal with all of the above, but watching my baby nurse without screaming was reason enough to medicate for me.

I guess I just feel embattled-we've worked really hard to beat this, things had started going really well, and then her weight dropped.  Obviously if she's not getting enough I'll supplement if necessary, but I'm just hoping its not.  And her height is still on the curve, so I don't think we're headed towards FTT.
