Reflux or Colic or Both.....I need help!

We have been told that Britan has reflux, but that there is not a real way to determine this other than doing an xray that would subject her to radiation that could be more harmful to her. I am not convinced its reflux, but I am convinced that something is bothering her and I can't figure it out. We see that she does have some signs of reflux, but some signs like not eating and not gaining weigh she totally doesn't have. She does throw up, mostly for me not as bad for Brooks.
I have researched colic too and I have to admit she doesn't cry for hours on end, but she doesn't sleep for long periods without fussing either. Pretty much everything it says to do for a baby with colic, she loves...she loves to move constantly, loves her paci, loves white noise, to be swaddled. Also, I have found colic babies are good eaters and gain weigh unlike reflux babies which she is for sure gaining.
We are now on Zantac and have been for 3 days, but at this point I can't say its helped too much...it seems like we have a good day and then a bad day...today was bad, so hopefully tomorrow will be a good one. I should mention she has hiccups all the time after she eats...which from what I have read could be either!
I am seeking any information you may have about either of these things to help us determine what is going on in her little belly! Thanks in advance for any advice, stories, or thoughts.....Very Tired, Alysha

 post #4 of #6 for the 2023 year.  this topic is going to be touchy, not well received-i am certain by some-and possibly controversial. thats your warning.... i make blog posts for an outlet, started 13 years ago as a healing outlet, lead to a sharing outlet, has dwindled over the years, but the purpose has ALWAYS been the same...an outlet.  i want to start this one with a few pieces of background knowledge 1-because i am not new to this rodeo and 2-because i have learned over the years and reflected on situations that lead me to believe i have decent knowledge of this topic .. i am mostly a soccer mom...also a tennis mom and a cheer mom, but mostly a soccer mom (no secret in that), but before i was that. i was AND still am a coach’s  wife. you see brooks has coached longer than we have been married. he has coached for 20 years.....20 STRAIGHT years....its not like here or there or a fill in, its not like a season a year, its like multiple seasons a year, multiple te...

My "Running" Life

First, it has been way too long since I posted a blog.....I almost feel like I have forgotten how to write, so we will see how this goes... I want to write about my new life that includes running.....I have tinkered with running for about 6 years now, but it has not been pretty, the most I have ever run until the last 6 months was 3 miles and those 3 miles were slow, awful, painful, annoying, etc.....It takes all I have to run...... When I started this journey it was to prove to myself that I could run 3 miles.....I accomplished that and had settled for that saying I would "never" run more than that, I am not a runner, I do it for the runners high I feel when I cross the finish line, but I truly never worked very hard at it.....35 mins was acceptable just to say I had run a 5k......BUT.......that is slowly, slowly, slowly changing..... When I decided I was going to raise the bar and do 13.1 I had to find strength I didn't know I had, time that I didn't know ex...

a struggling senior mom.....

 happy tuesday!  as i reflect on my 2023 vision board there is one glaring thing i am behind on...blogging....and when i set goals i complete them so here i am! you will see me 5 more times this 2023 year to mark this off the board! i have a couple topics in my head, but being that it is summer---i am starting here. i am in the phase of summer slipping away and it makes me sad, but i have tried so hard this summer to enjoy, not rush and truly soak it in.  this has been a defining summer for me. bryson is weeks away from his senior year. and its HARD. possibly the hardest part i recall in this parenting journey. tears fill my eyes as i type as they have for weeks when i let myself think that this is it. it's almost over. this phase is nearing the end. and the next phase may hold sweet, precious times as well, but dang the not knowing hurts! i have tried my very best to be present. be in the moment. although then i have tears. again. i keep reliving all the small things, th...
