We found the formual that works great for us so I know that's not the problem. A couple days a week though for two weeks know she suffers from relly bad reflux pain. I was wondering if any of you have found gripe water to be useful. I read up on it and it sounds like mom's recommoned it but the medical comminity doesn't really.
