What is really happening when a child has colic or reflux? There is a mis-interpretation of the experience. The baby has taken in food but then it mis-interprets the meaning of that food! The problem isn't a lack of Pepcid or Prevacid. It is a confusion of the situation. Of course there might be a physical or physiological issue (sensitive/allergic to something in the breastmilk/formula), but the underlying question is: why? It all points to the brain!
