[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly this sounds serious enough you should be getting advice from every doc who will talk to you -- not so much DCUM.[/quote]

Not OP, but what is the problem with posting on DCUM to see if others had a similar experience and can recommend a particular doctor or clinic?[/quote]

In my opinion, there is no problem with OP's request and it can be super beneficial to her to talk to those who have been through something similar.  Obviously, doctors should consulted and are the ones who can help but you need to figure out what type of specialist to use and sometimes a pediatrician without experience with a specific issue doesn't even know what specialist to refer someone too.  I am the PP who had a breakthrough with a speech pathologist and we went to a zillion GI docs, but my own research uncovered that sometimes speech pathologists specialize in feeding issues and I was able to book an appointment with one who saved our situation (and I got us in very quickly by leaving a detailed message about our dire situation and followed up twice quickly).  When I told the pediatrician about my idea of the speech pathologist, she said fine, but she never suggested it, neither did the GI docs.    [/quote]
