Guest guest Posted May 5, 2006 Report Share Posted May 5, 2006 Hello, Does anybody have a recipe for infant formula besides the one in BTVC? Is there one with Goat Yogurt? My friend's 6month old is very low weight and hardly wants to drink his formula (NEOCATE) because it hurts him so much. Her own breastmilk gave him a worse reaction than the NEOCATE. Is there possibly a commercial brand that has been found to be Disaccharide free? She is desperate. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2006 Report Share Posted May 6, 2006 There are no dissacharide-free formulas. The best thing would be for mom to go on an elimination diet of chicken, pears, zucchini (or whatever disaccharide-free combination of a few SCD-legal foods succeeds in eliminating the problem foods), to make her breastmilk " hypoallergenic " and then re-introducing one food at a time for 5 days into her diet to identify the culprits. If that is not an option (say, she's done nursing and is unable to re-lactate), then there are a few formulas she can try. With a Neocate reaction, corn is almost always the culprit, it is mostly dried corn syrup solids. Every formula has corn except Alimentum Ready-To-Feed (but it has broken down milk proteins, so if there is a severe milk allergy, this can be a problem). Another formula you could try is Elecare, which is rice-based, but I think has some corn. With a cow milk allergy, goat milk is not recommended, the proteins are too similar - 90+% of cow-milk-allergic babies also react to goat milk. I am experienced with this, feel free to email me with questions. Suzanne > > Hello, > > Does anybody have a recipe for infant formula besides the one in > BTVC? Is there one with Goat Yogurt?
