So glad that things have improved, OP!

Op updates. I'm getting more sleep so I have nothing more to complain about, lol. Baby much better on Elecare, yes on famotidine, occasional screeching but nothing like before elecare, and pediatrician approved the sugar water for pain relief. It seems to work and eases him to sleep, and it only takes a small amount once a day. He does still have some issues but he's not constantly miserable.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions.
