What kind of doctor do I need?
I want to take DD to a specialist to talk about her stomach issues. She is always bloated, lives on gas drops, gets constipated, and in general doesn't sleep/seems uncomfortable all related to eating. She is a BF baby and my pediatrician doesn't offer us any help, besides she is fine. I certainly hope she is but I want to hear that she is fine from someone else. What kind of doctor or specialist am I looking for? Anyone know what they are called?

Have you tried eliminating things from your diet? Maybe start with dairy and see if it helps? I went to 2 ped GIs and neither of them gave me any advice other than that, and my DD was the same way and she was a major spitter. GL.

I agree with going to a ped. GI. If you are EBF, I agree with also cutting out all dairy and gluten. I would also bring her to an allergist. That will help you on what you should eliminate.

Re: What kind of doctor do I need?
the ped GI I went to pushed formula. That was not an option for us. I would talk to an LC and discuss things that you could eliminate from your diet.

I agree! It sounds like a food sensitivity or allergy issue.
