My 1 year old daughter has broken out with facial hives heavily around her chin and mouth and a few on neck/chest after having her face wiped with a paper towel that had milk on it at 11 months, once after 2 bites of plain yogurt at 11-1/2 months, and after rubbing a drop of milk on her chin at 12-1/2 months. These have been her only milk experiences. I documented the last 2 instances with photo's and the doctor said no testing was required because she obviously has a dairy allergy. She said not to feed her any dairy (giving examples of sour cream, cottage cheese, ice cream) but that I didn't need to become a label reader and hopefully she would outgrow it. She said we'd try to give her dairy again around age 2. I feel uneasy with just waiting until she's 2. Do you think I should consult a allergist for more specific advice on testing her so I know if I should be aggressively reading labels, etc.?

My son (3 month old) is on Neocate for 5 days now, and had 2 small clayish black/greenish poops the first day, nothing on the second, and 2 very watery, yellowish/greenish poops the last days. Is this normal? I add a tb of rice cereal to each 4oz bottle also.

Hello, my six-years-old daughter has several food intolerance to milk, potatoes, wheat and other food not clearly identified yet. I am living in France. She used to drink Neocate for new born ( the same as Neocate LCP) and now she has to change. I have bought a Neocate called in France "Neocate Advance" but including as first ingredient " maltodextrin ". So it would be very helpful if you could help me with those two questions:- Looking at the ingredients ( maltodextrin ....), I wonder if the milk sold in france is not "Neocate Active" despite called Neocate Advance.- This maltodextrin worries me. Me daughter seems to react to several cereals. I have been said ( by SHS International Limited in UK) it is corn but SHS also said the LCP formula also includes corn. Is this true? In that case, she will not react to corn maltodextrin as there is always some corn in the LCP.Many thanks for your help to a lost mother.

Hi ,My daughter has Milk protein allergy and she was on neocate for one year. Now she is on Soy milk . She is two and half year old. We are planning for a second kid now . She is any chance that second kid gets the milk allergy . If so is there any possibility to avoid that . kindly help.....

Hi my 4 month old daughter has been on Neocate formula for almost a month now due to collitis from a cows milk/soy protein intolerance. We began first on full elimination diets of these proteins in my diet whilst I was breastfeeding her, but things just got worse and went downhill so the decision was made to start on elemental formula.My main question is how long does this take to work? Like I said she has been on it almost a month and she is still passing LOTS of wind, bowels movements straight after each feed, and these are still containing mucous and blood streaks... this week has been the worst.I thought that it would have began to work now, so I would like to hear how long these symptoms will take to go.Also, where can I find more information or literature about intolerances/senstivities rather than allergy? Thanks.

My son was switched from Nutramigen to Neocate due to a diaper rash that would not go away. He started the Neocate yesterday and seemed fine during the day, but vomited a very large amount last night. Does it take some time for his body to adjust to the new formula? He did not vomit on Nutramigen,

My 5 month old son was started on Neocate for a milk protein allergy about 1 month ago. He was having diarrhea with blood and ended up with a pretty bad diaper rash. Within a week of starting Neocate everything resolved. For the past week now his stools have been like liquid and wherever it touches his skin (even with various diaper pastes, creams, ointments) it is bright red and irritated. Is this normal with Neocate?

My son is 2 years old , and i stopped breasfeading 2 weeks ago , and i started neocate advanced, but he refuses to take it , so i baked it with a cake, is this ok? i mean does neocate gets affected when put under high temperature? and for how many days does the neocate remains in a good state and doesn't expire??
