Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Hi Pat Sorry to hear about Austin. Im going to assume he has the cows milk protein allergy(not lactose). This is what Liam has and we carry an epipen because it is so severe. Liam has been on neocate since he was 11 months. I cant remember if the first one was jr but he is now on advance for older kids. The first one use to taste horrible then they changed it and it was almost regular formula tasting, the advance is just plain horrible. I have been trying to remember where my list of formulas is. It has all the different formulas available what they are used for and why. I will try and get it to you tomorrow. Im sure it is just what you want. Is Austin having many solids ? and have you tried him with rice milk which is usually available at supermarkets or health food shops. I hate to tell you this but did you know milk allergies have been connected to reflux? Has Austin been tested for reflux. Will find that info tomorrow, isnt he lucky to have you for his gran!!! Take care Jody > > Hi everyone! > > 's little brother, Austin, 16 months old, just tested positive for EXTREME milk and soy allergies. Their current Dr has had them try NeoCate Jr (sp?) tropical flavor, and then plain NeoCate Jr, but Austin won't touch it. He's still on a bottle, and as soon as he gets a taste of the new formula, he refuses to even touch the bottle again. The Dr told them to withhold all other liquids, and sooner or later he'll start drinking the formula. Does that sound right to you??? > > Does anyone have any suggestions for an elemental formula that tastes good?? Is PeptaMin Jr an elemental formula?? > > Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! > Pat (g-ma to Aidan-5, Austin-16months, and , RSS, 4 yrs old, 28# 10.6oz, 35 " , G-Tube, GHT) > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Pat, Max had the same allergies. He was put on Peptamen, Jr. and did well. But he did not have to drink them. He was tube fed at the time. I don't think I'd like to drink that stuff, either. Jodi Z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Pat! Oh my gosh - you are not going to believe this....while Ian was in the hospital this week for his surgery - we just so happen to have a room-mate this time for a child that has the following issues (poor thing) extreme allergies to milk and soy, albuminum (sp?) disease, and Syndrome. This poor little girl - she was having diarreah for 6 weeks and was still having it at the hospital. They put her on the Neocate Jr - and she didn't like it either. But, they tried these flavor packets such as chocolate, banana, and strawberry and that seemed to help her get it " down " . I can call her tomorrow at the hospital (I know she will still be there for sure) and ask her some questions if you need me to. I think they were getting the results of some tests back and I was going to check in on her anyway. Let me know. This is so difficult I understand from what the mom was telling me and I'm sure she might even appreciate knowing she's not alone (unfortunately though - right?) Hugs to you. - H -- In RSS-Support , cara schobert <kittykia2002@y...> wrote: > > pat > i have no clue but wanted to let you was thinking of you guys > cara mom to jacob > > pcpets <pcpets@a...> wrote: > Hi everyone! > > 's little brother, Austin, 16 months old, just tested positive for EXTREME milk and soy allergies.
