Enzymes are safe. I would not expect it to cure the reflux. It hasn't in my experience. You are describing severe symptoms and a great deal of pain. I actually think you need a PPI (like Priolosec or Prevacid) and I know you won't want...

I got sick from undercooked chicken in a restaurant. I was sick pretty quickly. How are you feeling? http://www.cdc.gov/salmonella/ Salmonella, the most common bug you'd get, hits fast. Most people will recover fine. I'd probably just...

I think both of my kids have a GI bug. One child is past a month with a strange odor and bowel consistency. He tends toward weird stuff and was taking new meds. So I chalked it up to that. Well, he went off the new meds 3 weeks ago and I...

Is the pain better? Decreasing size sounds hopeful. I just want to make sure you know that fever/chills with staph would mean it's spreading/serious. So you can have localized staph that needs treatment and not get to that stage. Pay...

It sounds like you're taking great care of him! Was it a rapid strep test? If so, are they sending it off? It could still be strep or it could even be viral yet. How high are his fevers? Do make sure you're doing the probiotic at least...

The iron can stain but it needs to get directly on your teeth. I'm assuming you're swallowing the pills, right? Do you have any idea how the iron could have touched your teeth directly (out of pill/capsule)? If not, I'd be thinking of...

I don't think you need to take him in. It sounds like eczema to me. Are you using anything on it? He might also just flush easily but I think you're describing something that sticks around, right?

I do that with implantation in a pregnancy but the timing doesn't seem right for that (you were using condoms without event before you saw the bleeding, right)? I'd assume that your hormones are probably still a little wonky.

Your breastfeeding is the very best thing you can do for him. You're very likely exposed yourself and passing along immunity right now. I hope you see no symptoms.
