So Monday it will be a full two weeks on Alimentum. My lo has been on it to see if her gas, mucus in stool, constant nasal congestion would go away. The pedi said it was worth a try and gave me the go ahead. She also suspects silent reflux because of the nasal congestion.
The gas is gone. Also she said the mucus in her stool could be from the nasal congestion. But the mucus is gone now. It cleared up almost right away. But she does still have nasal congestion so I don't think that is what is causing it. I don't hink it was from teething because I don't think she just automatically stopped teething out of the blue when her stools stopped having mucus in a matter of the first 2 days. And she is still eating everything in sight and drooling here and there.
I was thinking she may have a milk sensivity and that would be causing the silent reflux. But if all her other symtoms have improved but she still having congestion do you think she does in fact have mspi or mpi? I'm wondering at what point do you decide you need to try and elemental formula vs she just as reflux too. Does that make sense? I didn't want to medicate her if putting her on this formula would clear her nose up. Would something like nasal congestion take more than 2 weeks to go away or would it have already cleared if the formula was going to help with that?
