Baby gaviscon

Hi everyone, has anyone used baby gaviscon? Has it helped and any negative side effects? I’m particularly thinking constipation due to the thickening!

My baby has terrible reflux and I tried gaviscon and he screamed literally for 24 hours straight with constipation. Never ever gave it again it broke my heart. As terrible as it is I’d rather him have reflux at least he can get that out

Did with first, horrible constipation made everything worse. That’s not all babies though. Went on CMPA formula and I cut milk (combi) and that helped a lot.

We used the gaviscon and after 2 days stopped, our baby wouldn’t stop crying and straining, when he did eventually poo it was like crumbly biscuit. Went back to docs two days later and said the constipation was worse than the reflux and they moved us to omeprazole. Would never ever use gaviscon again, was really hard work trying to sooth our little one x

Aw thank you all, I’m sorry you and your babies had such terrible experiences 😔 I’ll definitely be staying away then x @Naomi did the ozemprazole help at all?

@kristina omeprazole has helped massively!! He’s still a bit of a handful at night but with a good burp after a feed, abit of spit up and 20/30 mins upright cuddle he’s a different baby to a few weeks ago!! X

@Naomi that’s amazing, so glad it’s helped ☺️☺️ will try the gp next week!
