Constipation/reflux
I really need some help, I just don’t know what to do with my little girl.
She is on Kendamil milk(pink one) from birth and she has silent reflux, whenever she was first born she would drink her milk so quickly, not sure if it’s because of this milk or not.
The doctor started her on Gaviscon at the start of her reflux to help and then we were changed to carobel, the carobel seems to make her very constipated.
With the constipation the doctor prescribed us with lactulose, although she hasn’t went for a poo from Sunday early morning. We have tried lactulose, cool boiled sugar water, water with every bottle , a bottle with carobel and then one without and she just doesn’t seem to be going.
My aim of this post is because I’ve been researching the difference in Kendamil cows milk and goats milk, with the goats milk online has been saying that it helps with reflux babies and can help with constipation. I don’t know whether to change to the goats milk or not.
Has anyone had this issue and have tried the cows milk?

My baby girl has bad reflux. She has been prescribed Omeprazole but that doesn't seem to help the vomiting.
She is combo-fed and the formula she drank was Kendamil. We started with the pink one, then went to Kendamil Comfort, then Kendamil Goat and then back to Confort.
About a week ago we decided to move away from Kendamil and bought Aptamil Anti-Reflux. So far it seems amazing. She has stopped being sick and she is not constipated. I know its early but its seems great so far. She is 4.5 months.
My daughters CMPA manifested as constipation and reflux and eczema, no doctors would listen to me had fights with several gps ended up taking her private and within 5 minutes the specialist confirmed it was CMPA amd wrote a letter to gp and we started on prescription formula. My daughter had to suffer for the first 3.5 months of her life due to doctors negligence and telling me I’m “just a first time mum” I would bring up the cmpa as a possibility to the gp
Mine has awful reflux and has since birth (currently 6 months) Carobel is the only thing that helps. I've tried kendamil a few times and found it seems to give him a really sore tummy and causes really bad constipation. Tried the regular, organic and goat, all the same issue and didn't help reflux. The only formula he doesn't get constipation on is hipp organic, he does still have reflux though.
