[quote=Anonymous]Pp whose daughter had crohns.  Prevacid did nothing for us - we used nexium and zantac.  Periactin is an old remedh for stimulating the appetite.  We didnt go down a fruitful diagnostic path until  we had a bunch of bloodwork done showing how badly her immune system was reacting.  As for dysphagia - are you noticing your child choking or gagging on liquids?

As for breastmilk - I breastfed and my child fell of the charts anyway.  If your kid has a medical or behavioral reason for ftt it really doesnt matter thAt you went to formula.  The gi doc told me that ftt from medical reasons tends to start at 6 months.  So its not because you gave up pumping.   The drs wanted me to wean to elecare because if you are breastfeeding it is impossible to estimate how many ounces your child is drinking.

Does your child seem in pain?
Do you have any genetic or metabolic conditions in the family?  My daughter had hypotonia in her lower legs too - it improved when the nutrition improved.

Something that helped me a lot was putting my daughter in the jogging stroller and running.[/quote]
