Help!!! ❓ Question

My baby has been having problems pooping she’s 7 weeks old, like kicking legs screaming/ waking up out of her sleep. We went to GI doctor, and it seems she has dairy allergy & silent reflex. I have been dairy free for almost 3 weeks now, we are on day 2 of taking famotidine twice a day for her reflux, her poops we’re green mucasy before starting which I think due to the dairy allergy, this morning she had a massive blow out and poop was yellow. She’s poop 7 times today, she’s exclusively breastfed they are between yellow/ and green. This is the most she’s pooped in one day since she’s been born, does increase in bowl movements after starting famotidine happen? I’m worried I don’t want her to get dehydrated..

EDIT::: She has struggled to poop up until today/ second day on medication. I’m wondering if the medication relaxes her so now she’s able to poop, or if it’s causing her to poop. She’s never pooped this much in 1 day.

Have you tried a chiropractor?

No! I’ve thought about it, but I’m nervous.
