So DS started Similac Sensitive RS on Thursday.  He did fine (less spit up) on half Gentlease/half RS until Saturday night.  Since then, he has been very uncomfortable and screamed most of last night and this morning.  His pedi has start him on the probiotic Lactinex.  Anyone else use probiotics for reflux? Successfully I hope?

    Sarah is on a probiotic but it's mainly because of her immature digestive system.  She had serious reflux issues in the NICU - once she came home we changed formula (Nutramigen because of my own milk protein sensitivity), changed bottles, fed on demand, made sure to keep her upright for at least 30 minutes after a feeding and had her sleep on an incline.  Those things helped tremendously, but we were also on reflux meds and seeing a GI specialist. 

    We just recently weaned off the meds and we'll soon begin the transition back to a milk based formula...I'm SICK at the thought her reflux symptoms coming back...

    Ooo, forgot to add that we also thicken Sarah's formula with rice cereal (we use 1/2t per ounce of formula).  The thought is that the added weight will keep the formula down.
