Acid Reflux is horrible

Poor baby has horrible acid reflux. After the diaper rash I just wish he could feel "normal."

I've read conflicting opinions on whether or not my diet has anything to do with his tummy troubles. I know the cause of his problems is because he's not yet fully developed but I'm hoping that I can help him until he gets there.

My mom is going to support me and tomorrow we're going on the Dr. Sears Elimination Diet for two weeks. http://www.askdrsears.com/topics/feeding-infants-toddlers/food-allergies/elimination-diet
  • Eat only range-fed turkey and lamb, baked or boiled potatoes and sweet potatoes (with salt and pepper only), rice and millet as your only grain, cooked green and yellow squash for your vegetable, and for fruit, pears and diluted pear juice. Drink a rice-based beverage drink in place of milk on cereal or in cooking. Do not yet use soy beverage. Take a calcium supplement. (Rice products, such as rice beverage, rice-based frozen dessert, rice pasta, rice flour, and millet are available in nutrition stores.)
I'm generally against this as I thought he should have things in his system to get used to them. But he is in such horrible pain that I can't stand it any longer. 

Wish us luck as this diet looks pretty miserable, but again it's nothing little Colton is going through before, during and after every meal :(
