Definitely Potato or anything containing potato.
I would also think tomato? not sure haven't been willing to try it cause of the acidity of it. ------------- Kel http://lilypie.com">

I believe apple is one as well, especially store bought as they cook them with the skins on which is full of pectin. -------------

Have you tried cutting out dairy? Just a suggestion, this does work for some who suspect reflux. My children used to scream a lot at night or wake up scream for an hr or so and this was due to their intolerence to certain foods (dairy being the main culprit)

| It is heard of that children with dairy allergy tend to have sleeping problems...and my dairy-allergy child who had reflux as baby is a very poor sleeper and still is 2 years on. |

They list foods to avoid on http://infantrefluxdisease.com/infant_acid_reflux/help-infant-reflux.php - this site as far as I can tell they pretty much say don't eat anything LOL
I think that Violette was much worse last night because I had spinach and feta pie and probably a bit too much chocolate. :( ------------- Captain Chaos (5) & the Trouble Monsters (2!)
