Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 i am still searching for a formula for my 6mos old babies who seem to have alot of the same allergies as my asd son, especially to the milk based formulas. i tried the nutramigen and their stools are not as loose and they are less fussy. but i think i should change to the nutramigen because it is sucrose-free and the MCT oil is a medium chain triglyceride oil. does this sound ok? i am sure there are other ingredients in it which are not scd legal but i am hoping this may be the closest to being the most scd legal of all of the choices out there. Pregestimil was specially designed for babies with fat malabsorption problems. It should be used as directed by your baby's doctor. It provides the same extensively predigested protein as Nutramigen® LIPIL®, but it differs from Nutramigen LIPIL in its source of fat. The fat blend in Pregestimil consists mostly of a special type of fat called " MCT oil. " MCT oil is " medium chain triglyceride oil. " The unique formulation of Pregestimil is designed for feeding babies with diseases or disorders that make it difficult for them to absorb the fat blend in most other formulas. These conditions include short– bowel syndrome, steatorrhea (fat in the stool), cystic fibrosis or persistent diarrhea that does not respond to treatment. In addition to providing extensively predigested protein, Pregestimil is also lactose–free and sucrose–free (no added table sugar). Its carbohydrate is provided in the form of corn syrup solids instead of lactose. The formula is hypoallergenic, or appropriate for most babies with allergies to food proteins. Most babies will never need a formula like Pregestimil. But for those who do, their parents can rest assured that like the other members of the Enfamil Family of Formulas, Pregestimil provides complete, balanced nutrition.
