another alternative to milk

March 9, 2009

Just another thought about a milk replacer. My daughter has life threatening

food allergies to all animal milk and a mild allergy to soy. I give her Elecare

formula. It has it's pro's and con's. Pro's are that it has lots of fat,

protein, and calories. Con's are corn syrup, trace amounts of soy, and it's VERY

expensive. I picked this for my daughter because she is only three and I

couldn't put her on rice or potato milk because she was under weight. She has

gained two pounds in the last few months and I think the formula has helped with

that. I told Dr. G that I was giving her formula. He appeared to be okay with it

but I need to bring the label in for him to review. Some insurance will pay for

it but my doesn't.

Thanks,
