Where can i buy Gripe Water?

kilburn

Anyone know where i can get this in Limerick?

This is a really dodgy subject for discussing in an open forum as Gripe water was removed from the Irish market for some reasons, I don't know what the reasons were/are but they are in place, there are places however that sell it "under the counter", if anyone knows of such a place please PM kilburn and don't risk the business getting into trouble.

BTW kilburn, I got gripe water for my 1 in Ennis but found Infacol a whole lot better than it.

Not the same since they removed the alcohol!

Not banned in Ireland - just not sold here.

OP you could use parcelmotel.com as long as you can find a site that ships to UK

Overheard my brother and his wife talking about this subject last night. They were using infacol but he said Gripe water (non alcohol) was available in a shop in SNIP (I will PM you). If that's any use?

Is Gripwater not illegal down south now.

If you are looking for something that works to relieve severe colic, try Mahers Pharmacy in Clonmel, they have a colic mixture they make themselves I think, you may have to travel down once with the child but after that they will (used to anyway) mail it to you and debit your debit or credit card

They used to keep a record so about two days before you ran out a new bottle arrived in the post, happy days & sleepy nights

Tried gripe water, infacol etc before they were recommended to us, worked a dream

Ive seen it in shops here. It seems to be available since they removed the alcohol.

Apparently it's sold in the duty free shops in Heathrow and Stansted so if you know someone passing that way they could pick up a bottle.

I bought it in <snip> a couple of weeks ago.

I really don't know the legal ground in selling of gripe water so I don't want to have businesses names who are selling it in case of reprisals, I would assume that if it was ok to sell that it would be on sale everywhere hence my over-cautious approach.

I've gotten this in pharmacies all over the city... never had any problems getting it.

Redmal

There are lots of things that you can't get everywhere. I went to 3 chemists before I could get my hands on a bottle of Colief even. It's the old recipe for Gripe water that has been taken off the market, the version that had alcohol in it. The new version doesn't have alcohol and people say it's not the same as it used to be, that's why it isn't as popular and probably not as widely available as it used to be.

It is available north of the border. If you live in a border county it might be worth the drive up.

Parchment

I have seen this (pretty sure) in the ethnic food shop by the Tait Clock. I may be mistaken as i am not in the market for things like that but im pretty sure i saw it there...

Ideally you should talk to your pediatrician as colic might require a change in baby formula. some of these are prescription only.
