Reflux (Sorry if this is an over-discussed topic)

I haven't been on TB much since baby was born but I have an issue I am looking for answers to. Anyone have a baby that had/has reflux? Charlie spits like its his full time job, but rarely does he seem upsetted by it. He just constantly spits, sometimes very large amounts. Dr. Has me on a diet free of dairy, eggs, fish, and nuts trying to determine if its an allergy. I've been doing it since Friday and the only difference we be seen is his eczema has pretty much cleared up, oy had not helped the spitting. Dr. Said I need to be on the diet for 48 hours for all the stuff to be out of my system, the internet seems to think 2-3 weeks. Any ideas? Suggestions? Experiences? Help!

For your diet, it takes more than 48h for some of the things to be out of your system. Dairy can take 4-6w. 

If he's showing other symptoms of a food allergy, I think ALL of these diet restrictions are a little drastic. However, the fact that his eczema cleared up is a bit of a red flag. 

Here is a link to the Dr. Sears elimination diet. Make sure that you are only reintroducing one thing into your diet at a time as to avoid any confusion and having to start all over.
