Allergen Free Formula?

I have to agree with Valerie. I just responded to another mother whose child was pooping all the time just short of diarrhea. After I had to wean each of my kids for medical reasons, I put them on soy, and ALL of them developed a soy allergy. My mother-in-law said to try goat's milk and it was a miracle! It is much easier to digest and closer to human milk. It can be bought by the case powdered online. You can try it at several markets, the fresh or canned stuff, but it is expensive. Once my daughter weaned her son at 15 months she put him straight onto goat's milk and he is doing fine. Two of my three children can tolerate milk as adults, but one of them still cannot tolerate either soy or milk, except maybe a little cheese. You do have to supplement for iron as goat's milk doesn't have enough, but when you child can tolerate iron fortified cereals that will not be a problem, until then the doctor will have to prescribe an iron supplement for infants. Good luck.

I'm surprised your baby still had an allergic reaction with the elecare as it is a hypo-allergenic formula- my son has been on it for about 8 months. Have you tried Neocate? This is another hypo-allergenic formula that we have also given my son that he has done well on. good luck!

Hi,

My daughter has allergies and severe reflux. Elecare has been the anwser to all of her issues. Once she was on elecare for a month. She has been able to get off all of her breathing and reflux meds. I cannot say enough good stuff about elecare - except the cost. Email me if you have anymore specific questions. ____@____.com

i have a 6mo old that has major food allergies to EVERYTHING, i have chosen to keep breastfeeding her. however all her doctors have recomended Neocate- it is really expensive, but ask about a free sample at your doctors office. good luck.

try Neocate..it was the only one that worked for our highly allergic son.

Many families have use a formula called Neocate (www.neocate.com) or the one from vancesfoods. If you are dealing with food allergies already, go to www.tacanow.org and check out everything there under GF-CF Diet. It is all in one place for families written by families.

Please make sure YOU have done the research on vaccinations for YOUR child. Sounds like she is already immune system compromised, probably from vaccines. The AAP recommended schedule of shots for children is too many, too soon. Here are sites and books that I always recommend for people to start their research:

Good luck. It's not fun when they are having problems when they are so little :o( but it does get better :o)

Goat's milk formula, which can be purchased at Sprout's. :) Good luck,
