a lot of reflux posts lately

I feel like there have been a lot of reflux / milk allergy / feeding issue posts lately. I feel so bad for all of you because i know how horrible it is, and DS's wasn't as severe as a lot of kids.

I just wanted to throw out there that feeding DS was miserable for us - despite everything (multiple visits to the pediatric GI, multiple medicines, etc.) until we tried Simply Thick.  It's a calorie-free taste-free gel that thickens the milk.  It's great when mixed with expressed milk because it doesn't break down like thickening with cereal would.

I just wanted to throw it out there because our GI doctor didn't mention it - until DS started to choke a lot and had a swallow study and endoscopy.  The speech therapist that did the swallow study recommended it.

Seriously our life has changed so much for the better.  DS is sooooo much happier.

Obviously talk to your doctor to see if you wanted to try it...but...I think they give free samples.  The downside is it's pretty expensive, but SO worth it. 

I soooo wish I would have tried this 6 months ago, which is why I'm posting - gotta share the love.
