6 week old possible acid reflux

By Mamafarr08 Wednesday, December 17, 2008

I have a 6 week old daughter who has in the last week started vomiting (spitting up) extremely bad. Today she had blood in her spit-up a few times in a row. I have gone to the doctor twice in the last two days and received absolutely no answers. I'm frantically searching to find out what is wrong with my baby. I need help! Could this be an allergy to her formula, reflux, or both?

Thanks!

I would take her to the hospital and make sure a gastroenterologist checked her out.  Make sure her stomach is ok.  My son had reflux and there was no vomiting just a little spit up and no blood in it. My pediatrician told me if there was any blood or vomiting then he would have had to have test done.  I wouldn't go back to that pediatrician either.  The doctor should have taken this seriously and ran test on her.  I wouldn't wait go to the hospital.

Hello,

I agree 100% with the previous message from Anonymous. A young baby with severe vomiting and blood in the vomit needs to be evaluated by a doctor today. Please go to a pediatrician, urgent care or emergency department to find out what is going on.

A young baby may dehydrate very easily so it is important to take action right away.

PLEASE let us know how you and your baby are doing.

I will be thinking about you.

     I didn’t know how many people suffer from Acid-reflux, I will try to help as many as I can, I’m 59 years old, 3 years ago I was suffering from Acid-reflux, I tried just about all the drugs in the market but, it didn’t help much, and the side effects were terrible, a friend of mine told me about this natural food supplement that he tried, I ordered and tried myself, it was amazing, no side effects, safe for all ages including babies, I didn’t have to go on a diet, I eat and drink anything any time as much as I want, and I mean anything including coffee, sodas. pizza, chocolate spicy foods (my wife is mexican),. I didn’t have to make any lifestyles changes, I don’t have to elevate my head when I sleep and it lasted for more than a year, I had to order it 2 times since for myself and 1 time for my daughter and my son, my daughter was 18 years old and 32 weeks pregnant, my son was 10, the baby is now 13 months old and my daughter and my son had forgotten about Acid-reflux, until two weeks ago my daughter ask me for the web site address  because one of her friends at school have reflux, I have told many of my friends about it, try it and tell your friends too, let me know if it work for you, the web site is betasupplements.com.
