Excessive spitting up and vomiting in infants may be treated with putting them on their left side down after meals,

but of course never when sleeping.

It's always face-up to wake up to reduce the risk of crib death.

Also, you can try smaller, more frequent feedings, thickening, or changing formulas,

and in breast-fed infants, which is ideally how all infants should be,

eliminating cow's milk and eggs from the mother's diet.

I've talked about how more than 40% of infants with reflux can be successfully treated with cow's milk removal.

It can also affect them on the other end too, can be a major contributor to diaper rash,

and contribute to chronic constipation, and 80% of affected kids, though only a single kid tested

positive for an actual cow's milk allergy.

So it was like some kind of sensitivity reaction that can really only be diagnosed by giving

a cow's milk-free diet a try.

Anal fissures in infants may be practically pathognomic for cow's milk allergy,

meaning so characteristic of the condition

that it could be used as a diagnostic sign.

No allergy testing required.

It's like when cow milk hypersensitivity was demonstrated in 10 of 17 children with severe

reflux.

In the majority of patients, the hypersensitivity to cow milk

was identified only by eliminating it and then re-challenging to confirm. They did endoscopies,

measured the acid gurgling up before and after milk, and then verified by repeating

milk exposure with double-blind, placebo-controlled challenges when necessary.
