Hello. My name is Michelle and this is my first time posting on this site. My concerns pertains to my little girl...She is 18 months old and has had a terrible time with digesting formula since birth.  It was thought for a time that she was lactose intolerant...I still believe that she is. I still have her on Enfamil Lipil Formula because she seems to tolerate well. She doesn't like cow's milk either. So, I figured that she was getting some calcium and iron....She was also on baby cereal, & was on table food since she was 4 months because she wasn't drinking enough formula to gain weight. Marilynn is still very underweight. She weighs 19 pounds and 8 oz.
However, her bowel patterns are erratic; she usually has one movement per 1-2 weeks, and it's very hard, large, round, and very painful. Her bottom usually tears and bleeds too. Unless I give her massive amounts of prune juice, walnuts or bran bread, she can not have a bowel movement.
Also, she must have simethicone drops and Zantac twice a day or her stomach pain is unreal. I need some help please! I have changed doctors twice and they won't even consider that there is a problem with my little girl. It is my belief that having a bm should not hurt! She eats a large variety of veggies and cereals...just about anything that we eat...If you could, please direct me to a specialist or to someone that could help my daughter.
Here is my email addy. michelle_lynn_fenwick@hotmail.com Anything would be appreciated.
