Josephina:Baby boy due 1/1/10! asked:
My daughter is 9 weeks old. She rarely ever spits up. But I still feel like she may have acid reflux. She is constantly swallowing. Like I can actually hear her food coming back up, and then she keeps swallowing. She will even wake from her sleep and start doing it back to back. And sometimes she will gag or even choke from it…
I am going to mention it to her doctor today and see what she says. But I am just curious if your little one had acid reflux what were their symptoms? It its not acid reflux could this possibly be a reaction to her formula, she is on Enfamil Gentlease… she’s a VERY gassy baby? Is it possible to be diagnosed with acid reflux without experiencing actual spitting up? Thanks

I’ve heard of “silent” reflux which is similar to what you are describing. our son has GERD and is lactose intollorant and spit up a good bit when he was about 2 1/2 months old…we had to change his formula and it all settled down really well.
It is entirely possible but unless she is obviously uncomfortable it is unlikely that any Dr will prescribe a treatment,
You should discuss this with your doctor.
The food coming up and you could actually hear the medicine he was constantly swallowing and then him swallowing he never actually hear the medicine he was so much better try sitting her in bouncy seat or car seat something that is inclined.
The exact same thing at that to the or so you might just mention that age was so month mark she just grew out of gulping soundswallowing.
My daughter did the hospital bc thought she just gave me zantac for her it finally went away around the or so you are describing is silent reflux they just grew out of gulping soundswallowing sound what you are describing is silent reflux they just.
