In recent decades, GERD has become a pathology that previous generations never experienced. The need to position the infant at 45 degrees ends up causing a flat head and the need for osteopathic care. Parents who get upset, mothers who stop their maternity leave early because they can't take it anymore, and infants who continue to be ill despite numerous paediatric visits are the daily lot of many young couples today.
But what is the origin of infant GERD? And why doesn't anyone understand anything?
Before answering this question, I'd like to look back at our parents' and grandparents' childhoods. Those generations cleaned their bowels more frequently than today's generation of parents, who unfortunately have to deal with GERD in their infants.
You're going to say to me, "Andrea, are you telling me that the mother's intestinal cleansing is linked to the infant's GERD? Yes, absolutely. The mother's parasites, worms and mycoses are passed on to the fetus during pregnancy. Once the baby is born, it will manifest the presence of parasites and/or mycoses through GERD. As long as this overgrowth remains untreated, GERD will continue to exist, and so the mucous membranes of the infant's digestive tract will continue to inflame and provoke aversion to food for the little one, who must now grow and put on weight.
Mucosa-relieving substances such as feverfew, litothamus and marshmallow can help, without treating the root of the problem.
Let's also remember to treat the cause by giving dewormers and antimycotics they can tolerate. Vermifluid around the new and full moon, andEPP on other days, can be effective.
When I was preparing to enter the PhD program in epigenetic medicine, I was involved in another research project at the University Hospital for Women and Children in Adelaide, Australia. Being in the gastroenterology department, the infant GERD researchers had found that vitamin D3 deficiency could, among other things, be the cause of infant GERD.
Of course, cow's milk formula for bottle-feeding mothers and the diet of the breast-feeding mother could be the cause of infant GERD.
Let's give preference to goat's milk products and avoid ALL wheat derivatives, as dietary proteins such as casein from cow's milk and wheat gluten are often the cause of GERD problems in infants.
See you soon.
