Welcome to the board.  As all have said previous to me, I am sure you will find helpful information here.  My son is now 2 1/2 and doing very well.  I like everybody else remember what you are going through all too well.  My opinion is this:  The medications that these children take are only to replace what the body does not produce.  Which means (in my mind) that it should not be affecting them.  If their bodies produced it on their own it would not affect them, right?  Your son may be have colic, which is producing the gas pains.  Also sometimes (which happend with my son) gas bubbles pile up in the stomach and when they do burp all the other stuff comes up as well.  This happend several times with my son, so what I did was watch him carefully to see how he was going to act after this happend.  It turned out that it was never really vomitting.  Although it seemed to be a huge amount that came out.  But again it was a huge bubble that he had.  I know somebody before me mentioned an injectable cortisone.  I gave my son injections every 3 days for the first 5 months of his life.  Even though this was very stressful at first, I always felt secure that he had enough cortisone on board.  So if you are concerned about him having enough consider the injectable, at least until he stops spitting up.  This injectable (by the way) is not the one used in emergency situations.  I also have a very good emergency letter that I would be happy to email you.  I am very happy to say that my son in his 2 1/2 years of life has only been hospitalized once due to the rotovirus last year. All the feelings that you have are real, and they will get easier, always know that you can come to this board and find help and support.  Giving meds WILL become second nature.  At some point you really won't even think about it.  Congratulations on your new joy.
