What causes loss of appetite,gastric pain,wheezing and sulfurous odor in stool?
Patient: Hello, we have 6mo old identical twin boys. They are experiencing a loss of appetite, GERD-like symptoms, some wheezing, discomfort/gas pain, but most notably....very sulfurous smelling stools. The peds MD has tried Zantac, omeprazole & Reglan, only worsening pain w/ babies not wanting to sleep. I have tried an infant homeopathic remedy, Hylands baby colic tablets, which have been somewhat successful in treating the gas pains. They are on Neocate formula, the most hypo-allergenic, pre-digested formula on market. Also...most expensive. Are there any concerns with a lack of ability to break down sulfurous compounds? Any other thoughts greatly appreciated. Lisa/Pharmacist Doctor: MOST OF TOP FEED BABIES DO HAVE THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE TOP FEED HENCE THESE ARE NORMAL THINGS HAPPENS IN TOP FEED BABY
