Suggestions on Daughter Who Has Hirschsprungs Disease Now Has Chronic Diarrhea

My 3 y/o daughter has hirschsprungs disease. She had corrective surgery. She now can have bowel movements but it is always diarrhea. It has been 2 years since surgery and still she goes about 6-10 times a day. The diarrhea causes her bottom to severely break out with painful open sores. She has been to so many doctors and tried many creams and medicines to keep her from breaking out and nothing seems to work. She recently had food allergy testing which showed that she is allergic to yeast and dairy. I have taken her off all of that and it...

Experience W/ Colic Calm Gripe Water ? Prevacid/Zantac Not Working

My baby is 5 weeks old and was diagnosed a week ago with reflux (GER) which she's had probably since she was about 3-3.5 weeks old. She cries nonstop all day basically. She's on prevacid in the morning maalox max throughout the day (as needed) which provides very temporary relief (few minutes) and Zantac at night. It's been just over 5 days now and we're still not seeing much improvement. My ped GI said give it 2 weeks but that just seems ridiculous - you'd think by now I'd see a little improvement! I heard about Colic Calm gripe water....
