Question

My son was born at 32 weeks. He spent his first month in the NICU. When he was released from the hospital, he was just finishing up his supply of Special Care Infant Formula from the hospital and he was also getting my breast milk. One week after he got home, he was back in the NICU for possible infection, because he had projectile vomiting. Infection was ruled out and he was sent home in 3 days. He began having the projectile vomiting that landed him in the doctors office everyday for almost a week. The put him on Allimentium formula. He vomited worse on that, so they put him on Neosure Infant Formula. He still continued vomiting. Finally, I had took him to a different doctor and he ordered an ultrasound of his stomach. He had pyloric stenosis. He had to be admitted to the Childrens Hospital that same day. He had the pyloric stenosis repair 2 days later. The gastroenterologist had said my son has GERD,soy,milk, food, citric acid allergies and had put him on NEOCATE Infant Formula. He will be 1 year-old in 3 weeks, and the doctor had said about putting him on Pepdite Junior when he turns 1. I had talked to a nutritionist about EO28 Splash and she said it would be better for him to go right on that (EO28 Splash) since it is amino-based, and the Pepdite is not and is harder to digest , and also contains soy. the flavor will be grape since it has no citric acid like the orange-pineapple and the tropical fruit. Which do you prefer? Sincerly, Connie. THANK YOU!

My son is almost 13 months. He tested positive to milk, egg and peanuts when we did RAST at 7months of age. He was breastfed until 10 months, but his eczema was so severe (even though I had an extremely eliminated diet) I quit breastfeeding. We started him off on soy formula, which he did great for a while, except for a little (but persistent) eczema around the mouth area.Now, at 13 months, I tried some organic soy formula, and went back to Isomil - (I also gave him some tofu and soybean paste soup) and he started pooping 8-10 times a day(it doesn't seem like diarreah because his stool is pretty firm. sometimes loose, but not watery). it's been six days. No other symptoms of illness - no fever, and he plays fine. Pediatirican recommended just giving him oral electrolyte for 24 hours. My pediatrician and i am starting to wonder if he's developed allergies/intolerance to soy now. When he was younger, I tried nutramigen and he would NOT take it. It smelled and tasted nasty. I wonder if Neocate tastes as good as soy formula. Will my son take it? And will it help?
We are feeding our 2-month old Neocate, in combo with EBM and breastfeeding.We are a little concerned about his urine. That is, it is or has become rather strong smelling. Is this something to be concerned about? Is this something linked to the consumption of Neocate and/or the consumption of Neocate along with breastmilk.Please advise.
My daughter has been on Neocate for six months (she is now eleven months old). She has severe allergies to dairy and eggs (confirmed by RAST and skin tests). We have attempted to introduce solids to her diet with no luck. She has had violent physical reactions (vomiting lasting for hours and diarrhea lasting for days) to things like rice cereal, sweet potatoes, bananas and peas. Her skin tests for these foods were negative. They have taken her off all solid food and are planning an endoscopy in a few weeks, to hopefully diagnose the cause of these reactions. I understand that there could be many possible causes for her symptoms, but I am trying to do some research and am wondering if you could provide me with some of the possible, what I assume would be GI related, disorders.
Hello. I have a 5 month old who was diagnosed with allergic colitis at 3 months based on a history of symptoms. At the time of diagnosis, I went on a series of elimination diets in an attempt to continue breastfeeding. By the end of 8 weeks on the diet(s), I was consuming exactly 5 foods and the diet still didn't produce ANY improvement in symptoms (fussiness, sleeplessness, mucousy stools). She has now been switched to Neocate after a partially successful trial with Nutramigen. On Neocate, the symptoms are better, but now, she is constipated, something we didn't see before, even on Nutramigen. The GI doc suggested diluted apple juice to help with the constipation. About 4 hours following the apple juice, she vomited what seemed to be the entire amount. The only time I've ever seen her vomit like that is when given medication (Tylenol and a brief try with reflux med). She seems unable to digest anything other than the Neocate. Is it possible that she has some other condition? If so, what could it be? Should she be taking digestive enzymes to help? Please help. Really worried. Thanks,Helen
