Guest guest Posted April 18, 2000 Report Share Posted April 18, 2000 My dearest " EXPERT " Once again I turn to you for advice... We found that Zachary has managed to lose 10 oz in 5 weeks. To refresh your memory, he is on Pregestimil fortified to 30 k/cal/oz, single ingredient veggies, fruits and cereal. He takes 1/2 Pancreacarb (increased to 1 full cap this week). He also had a pretty severe reaction to Pediasure formula( suspected to be a milk protein allergy that he will outgrow). He consumes around 1200 k/cal a day. The clinic MD made it clear that he wanted him off the infant formula ( can you think of a reason? ) and wants to try him on Soy milk (not infant formula). We refused to introduce any new proteins outside of the hospital setting because of the whey protein reaction, and also suspect he may be allergic to poultry ( after a small nibble of chicken he developed a rash similar to the rash he gets with bites of ice cream) Have you ever heard of an allergy to proteins? How did you progress with new foods? Would continuing formula be UNhealthy for him at this point? Back to weekly weight checks we go and off to the ped in 2 weeks, then back to clinic in 5 weeks....the clinic dietitian hasn't called with her recommendations. Waiting to hear your words of wisdom...lol MJ Zachary's " Beary " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
