formula

Hi everyone,

Hope your day is full of sunshine and few clouds. I have a friend whos baby

is on zantac already for acid reflux but she is still in a great deal of pain.

I told her it could be all the soy in her formula, and the soy that my friend is

passing thru her breast milk etc. My friend drinks soy milk. The baby also

reacted to rice cereal and I had her read the ingredients--there is SOY IN THE

EARTHS BEST RICE CEREAL. Okay, that angered me. (I cant understand why one of

the most allergic foods out there is given to our babies--just like we are told

to avoid eggs and milk in the first year, we should not be giving our babies

wheat and soy either!) . Okay, I am calm now. So, for those of you, Terri B.

and others, who have been researching formula, have you found anything that is

a good alternative??? Does everything have soy or casein in it?? Anyone who

can help, please help me. Thank you and much love,

I'm not sure how old this baby is, but my friend gives the following to her

10 month old baby. Its geared towards older babies eating solids.

Supposedly you aren't suppose to use it as a sole source of nutrition.

Anyay, its free of gluten, corn, yeast, soy, egg, dairy or stimulants. Its

primary ingredient is rice. Its called Ultracare for kids and here is a

Hope this helps!

I am Definately going to breast feed and be soy-free, casein and

gluten free. I now know what to look for if she is intolerante to anyhting I

ingest and will eliminate it ASAP. I am going to supplement ( if I need to )

with soy formula. There are some other formulas out there that require a

Doctors perscription and it is CF,GF,SF. Aslo Alimentum is not quite casein

free, but the casein is pre-digested. Also Nutramigen is corn-based. I found

these at Walmart.

Hugs, Terry.B
