Sometimes I *DO* want to be taken seriously!
We noticed that despite putting the squirm back on the formula, he's been pretty gassy still, and spitting up alot more. K attributes it to the fact that his body is readjusting to formula after so many different food sources in a week, but I'm not sure she's right. When the gas didn't go away on Monday, K called the GI Doc's nurse, who... was dismissive, and suggested we just burp him more and do your best.
NOT HELPFUL ADVICE!
We were both kinda unhappy about that, but the Nurse also said she'd check with Squirm's GI Doctor, Dr. Chao, and get back to us today.
K called at 12:15 to say that she'd heard back from the Nurse who said that Dr. Chao was taking this seriously and wanted to do.. what I guess is the Gold Standard in Reflux Diagnoses, the pH Impedance Monitor. Basically, they're going to tape a spaghetti-sized monitor in Squirm's mouth and test his pH for 24 hours. This will, I assume, tell them what they need to know about the severity of Squirm's GIRD.
I am thankful the doctor is taking this seriously, though I fear that Squirm will hate the monitor.
I just want this to be over soon. It frustrates me that he's still not doing as well as we'd like, despite switching back to the formula. I want someone to diagnose it, and fix it.
