Reflux? What Reflux?

First of all, thank you to all of you who were praying for Liam as he was dealing with reflux. Good news! He's healed! After trying a few different routes (like me drastically changing my diet, giving Liam some herbal drops, etc) his doctor suggested we try a chiropractor. Some of his other patients with reflux had some success, so we figured we'd give it a try. After 3 visits, Liam was a completely different baby. No more pain, no more reflux, no more projectile spit up, no more restless nights!!

The chiropractor explained to me that sometimes when babies are born via c-section, their spines don't always become aligned properly since they didn't go through the birth canal. On the first visit she had me feel Liam's spine starting at his lower back and moving up towards his neck. About half way up his back I could no longer feel his spine. She said that it was pressed in (it never had the chance to pop out during birth) and his spine was actually pinching his nerves. The nerves that were being pinched were the ones connected to his digestive system, and causing the reflux. Crazy! But it all made sense!

We are thrilled that after only 3 visits he is better and that we never had to use prescription medication. (Which would have been the next step had the chiropractor not worked.) And in other good news, I can eat normally again! Helloooo diary, my old friend. I've missed you.

Now this is the face I see looking up at me most of the day!
