months.

Hello,

There have been news reports in recent years of contamination of powdered

formulas. I'd like to find out how common the use of powdered formulas or other

powdered products was for ASD children. If you could take the new poll that has

been posted I would appreciate it.

Thanks

I think it is an interesting question, but I was thinking about our kids and one

thing occurred to me: we switched to special powder formula because they were

having GI problems already. There might be a lot of people in that boat, kids

that switched because they were not tolerating breast milk. Those might be kids

damaged before the introduction of powdered formula that might artificially

inflate your numbers in this poll. So, maybe the question needs to have a

clarification statement that the use of powdered formula pre-dated was not due

to existing GI problems, reflux, etc.

Hmm, given what we spend on food now my outrage over the cost of Nutramigen

seems a bit silly.
