Listen to the experts, the physicians who are treating your baby. I know it must be hell to watch your baby suffer. But please don't let strangers tell you what to do.
I strongly suggest you go to www.webmd.com and I bet you will find answers@

I used to have heartburn so bad I thought I had an ulcer. I saw 3 Dr's in a year, who each gave me a different prescription. After none of the meds worked, I went to a naturopath who told me to eat a pickle or tomato when the reflux was real bad. Whaddya know.....cured the reflux. Now whenever I have heartburn, (maybe 2 x a month now instead of every day) I eat something acidic. Even an orange will work. It's amazing, and doesn't cost an arm and a leg, and is natural besides!!!

Have you tried different bottle? Or are u nursing? Dr Browns bottles helped my daughter a lot when she was suffering from it. Medicine didnt do to much for her either. Im sure the doctors have told you everything but if you are using formula, there are special kinds that are available now and not just the soy ones. I think the new ones have rice powder in them to thicken them some. Dont just put rice cereal in the bottle tho. Also smaller amounts closer together. Trial and error with bottles and formula and feeding schedules is what finally worked for us. Good luck!

I did the same thing when I was a baby, but back then they hadn't heard of GERD. I ended up with GERD later on in life, but what they ended up finding out about me was that I was violently allergic to milk. My mother told me she used to lay me on my back on one end of the couch and I'd vomit so hard that it would reach the other end of the couch. This was happening when I was just a few weeks old, too. But when they finally tried putting me on a formula with soy milk, it went away completely.... I don't know if your doctors have tried this strategy yet, but it may be worth checking into...

I would think your doctor would or should have given you a diet suitable for your child.
The fact is that certain foods will trigger your body to increase the production of stomach acid. Cow's milk is one of these. Tomato based sauces. Chocolate and even iceberg lettuce can cause these triggers.
Ask your doctor for a list of these foods or look online. I'd check the ingredients of the baby foods for any of these ingredients.

Have you considered pyloric stenosis as a diagnosis? Ask your doctor about that. Also give the meds a good week or 2 before you give up on them.
