Is this out of control.? I don't know what to do. MY first child was in perfect health and my second was in a childrens hospital a week after we brought her home. She had reflux, milk allergy that made her bleed from her bottom. She had a lump in her breast (that was nothing) now she has had a rash on her bottom i can't get rid of, hard lumps on the base of her neck,and leg cramps during the night like crazy!!! I had a wonderful pediatrition (she was the local best) and we changed to another when the doctor didn't want to give her meds for refux because it caused no long term damage. If you have ever had reflux then you know why we changed doctors. The second doctor is just too relaxed and nothing is resolved. Are these related or is my daughter the one child that every one has that they have a hard time keeping healthy. I one need to change doctors again but, i can't find a good one, it was a big deal with the paper work, and no one will listen if i lswitch dr. all the time.

CHANGE DAUGHTERS DIET, SHE MAY BE SUFFERING FROM A FOOD ALLERGY. GIVE HER A BANANA TO EAT FOR THE LEG CRAMPS. ASK HER DOCTOR IF SHE CAN DRINK QUININE WATER FOR THE CRAMPS ALSO. SOMETIMES LAYING A SILVER SPOON ON THE LEGS HELPS. GOOD LUCK!

Take her to a specialist at your Children's Hospital. This child needs to have a proper diganoses. Is is possible that she may be dehydrated? Dehydration can cause foot and leg cramps, amd can also be caused by potassium levels being too low. I would call the Children's Hosp and tell them what is going on and tell them that you are bringing her in becaise her doctor won't do anything for her. Good luck.

Make sure she is drinking enough, especially if you live wher it is warm. Have your drink OJ with potassium and eat bananas.
Ok, I assume the milk allergy/reflux problem is resolved, therefore the butt bleeding is resolved.
So the leg cramps is the only problem. Anything else? What are her current health problems?

I though that Leg cramps was a result of dehydration and low potassium. Like when woman are pregnant.. Give her lots of water during the day and change her diet.. Give it couple days until you see any kind of change. If you are not satisfied ask for a referral ...

Legs cramps can be from lack of potassium (bananas are good) or dehydration. Water and a banana should do it.

Why dont you swallow your pride and go to your original doctor so she can examine your daughter properly and give her treatment. Also make sure YOU listen and follow this doctors advice .

Try giving her more foods that contain potassium...bananas, broccoli, cauliflower...check lables on foods to see if they have potassium.
