Banerji Protocol Food and Dairy intolerance.

Babies crying, ohhhh that is the most worrying thing for first-time parents or those with a newborn baby. We all want them to be happy and content and although we all have an inbuilt tolerance to some baby crying sounds, the colic cry is something else! Thank goodness we have so many good homeopathic remedies for colic. 

To see a baby with colic is heartbreaking for the parents! and no matter what you do to soothe your baby, it does not seem to be working. The good news is that homeopathic remedies can provide relief for colic babies and I have seen in my practice very happy mothers and babies after taking the remedies.

Colic is not a disease or a diagnosis but a combination of behaviours that point to colic. It is more like a catch-all word for babies that crying babies that are otherwise healthy and no reason can be found for it.

​But even though nobody understands colic, there are two things that can be observed:

  • Baby tummy is hurting
  • Baby is very unsettled and crying

However, in homeopathy we say there is ALWAYS a reason for everything and if the baby has colic, there must be a reason for that!

Although nobody knows what causes colic, my observation is that
  • mums and babies that have taken medical drugs during pregnancy or after birth 
  • or mums or babies that have suffered some sort of serious upset during or after birth
 they are more likely to come and see me because of baby colic.

Read here how to convert dry doses of remedies into liquid drops ready to dose for your baby.

​

​THINGS TO CONSIDER WITH A COLICKY BABY
​

​FORMULA INTOLERANCE 
I have seen this in my practice several times. The babies will be really fussy and start with a colic cry soon after a bottle feed. Babies fed a cow’s milk-based formula may become colicky if they’re allergic to the protein or can’t tolerate the lactose in cow’s milk.

​Switching those babies to a goat's milk-based formula can really help as goat's milk is less allergenic and easier to digest.

This can also be true for breastfed babies if the mum drinks milk in her diet. That’s because a potentially allergenic protein called beta-lactoglobulin in cow’s milk is transferred to the baby through the breast milk. 


For food and daily intolerances the Banerjies use:
  • Food intolerance to Milk or dairy- Aethusa 200 every 3rd day
  • For food sensitivities- Bobista 200 every 3rd day

​FOOD SENSITIVITIES
And I know this one too well!! Both my daughters were breastfed but only after a few weeks after my second daughter was born, I realised that every time I had some strong coffee, she would start to cry and it would last a long time.

Breastfeed mothers are savvy at making a relationship between what they eat and how it affects their baby. Common offenders are coffee,  cruciferous (gassy) vegetables, spicy food and wheat.

I wish that at that point, I would have to know about homeopathy and these colic remedies to help to get you through that time. Luckily for us, as soon as I removed coffee from my diet things changed for her and she never complained of tummy pain!

​However, she remains a sensitive person in the digestive system area.

If your baby is suffering from teething, here are the best homeopathic remedies to help!

​HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES FOR COLIC 


​CHAMOMILLA 30/200C

This is one of the top remedies for VERY angry and upset colicky babies.

Chamomilla babies complain a lot, nothing makes them happy and nothing soothes then. Babies can develop red cheeks during the colic bouts and want to be carried about and petted constantly.

There is an oversensitive to abuse of coffee or medical drugs, so this remedy can be indicated if the baby or mother is taking or HAS TAKEN ANY MEDICINES. The stool may be more runny than usual after a colic bout.
 
NUX VOMICA 30C

This is another very good remedy for colic. The baby needing this remedy is affected by you taking any kind of stimulant, let it be spicy food, coffee or any medicine.

If mothers diet is rich and stimulant and baby is breastfeeding, this can be a good match.

Baby may be a bit constipated and quite windy and do not want to be touched on the tummy, the colic is more likely to start after feeding. 

MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA 200C

This is the great anti-spasmodic remedy with cramping pains.

Babies needing this remedy are quite flatulent and tend to draw the legs up when they are crying. This is because babies needing this remedy are relieved by pressure on that area, and you may well find yourself drawing the legs up to his tummy to expel some wind and then the baby gets a bit of relief from that.

This babies, also feel better for rubbing the tummy and warm applications to the area.

BANERJI PROTOCOL TIP:
  • Nux vomica 30 +Colocynthis 200 this is their main remedy for the colicky type of pain in the abdomen and this has become one of my favorites, it combines liver detox and cramping pain.

​This alone is sufficient in some of the babies I see in my practice. I tend to prescribe this remedy twice per day for a week or so.
Homeopathy colic babies
COLOCYNTHIS 200

This remedy is an excellent remedy for colic in the abdomen.

The neuralgic pains are usually relieved by pressure. Agonizing pains causing the baby to bend their legs. Baby may feel better by rubbing his tummy and lying on the tummy.

The pain tends to come on waves and the baby passes wind with it which provides some relief. Colic pains tend to be worst at night in bed.

LYCOPODIUM 30

This remedy is suited to babies that have colic and are extremely gassy.

Immediately after a meal, the abdomen is full and bloated. If babies are breastfed, any fermentable food such as cabbage or beans in mother's diet will produce a colic bout.

The babies can be very hungry but refuse to eat after a few sips because they swallow a lot of wind. These babies tend to burp as well as pass wing. Colic tends to be worst from 4-8 pm

IGNATIA 200

A few doses of this remedy can be very helpful for babies that have developed colic and the mum has suffered some serious upset during pregnancy.

This is a grief remedy and it has been very helpful in my practice.

This remedy can be alternated with any of the above remedies.

Hello,

Your box on the protocol for food intolerances caught my attention. I usually see this protocol as given more frequently such as everyday or even twice a day for the Aethusa. I am curious as to why you recommend every third day.

Thanks!

I don't tend to prescribe Aethusa more frequently than that, if you are dealing with an intolerance it takes time to work through that. Prescribing it more often is not going to change things faster! It depends what the symptoms are and why you are using it.
If the person is experiencing very severer symptoms straight after ingesting dairy, then I would use it closer together.

Hi Cristina! Thank you so much for all the information. It's really hard to see our baby in pain, to be so sleep deprived... Could you please tell me the dosage for the lycopodium 30 for babies? Thank you

Hi Cristina
I was reading about Aethusa and Bovista and I was wondering if you take it will this risolve the issue with dairy and gluten?
And if so how long should you use for?
By taking it will this cure hashimoto too if you got it from gluten sensitivity?
Thank you so much!
Monica

Hello Monica,

Hashimotos is an autoimmune disease and it will need more than one remedy or two to aid healing! In my experience, gluten is not the cause of this disease, that is a very simplistic approach. Often there are several factors on the physical and emotional level playing a part and often they start with a susceptibility on the family history. By all means these remedies can be helpful to soften intolerances and in some simple cases to clear them but when several things and autoimmune disease is involved, those two remedies alone will not be able to clear it. It is a working process navigating through the case that would be more helpful.
