reflux babies and WCM

Sorry, but this is a little long:

 My DD was put on Zantac at 7 weeks old for acid reflux.  She took the meds until about 9 months, and has been doing great without it.  He loves yogurt and cheese and has no issues with it.  She turned one on 9/18 so I figured it was time to start switching her over to regular milk.  On Sunday I added 1.5 oz of WCM to her morning and afternoon bottles.  About 3 hours after her first bottle she woke up from her nap after only 15 minutes coughing so hard I thought she was going to puke.  I could hear the fluid coming up and she was screaming.  She seemed a little better after that, but she was up all night with terrible gas pains and I could hear the reflux.  She didn't have any WCM on Monday but we had the same problem Monday night.  She keeps coughing and did puke a few times Monday night.  She squirmed, crawled all over me and passed gas all night.  The babysitter told me today that she is still coughing a little and did throw up some after lunch.  So my question is, could a milk sensitivity/intolerance cause her reflux to get that bad and still be bothering her days later???

My DD also had reflux. She was on Prilosec from 5 weeks until 9 months. When we switched her to whole milk she also started vomiting daily. She most of the time would be coughing and then throw up. This lasted a month so I pulled her off the milk and put her back in formula. Doc said she'd prob outgrow it so try again in 1 month. We did and same thing happened. We had her tested for a milk allergy and sure enough she had one! Now I question her reflux. Was it the allergy the whole time since she was on bm then formula?? She's currently on coconut milk which she loves with no issues. Sounds like your DD may have allergy as well. We are testing her again in 6 months to see if she still has it. Doc thinks she will eventually outgrow. Oh and she loves cheese as well and that does not bother her. Really only the whole milk and ice cream. Poor thing

We also have a reflux baby (still on meds at 16 months, oy!) and we're not using WCM.  We use almond milk and it works great!
