Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
i have a newborn that has reflux and is on a soluble tablet for it i have had to take him off breastmilk after changing my diet several times. he has been on two other formulas and now is on his 3rd.he spits up constantly no weight gain and cries after every bottle. he had fever last week and took him to the dr his lab came back okay she said he could have inflamed intestines. could a milk allergy have caused this? will the soy formula work or neocate formula? other formulas were nutramigen which caused his reflux to act up majorly and the other was allimentum it helped with the reflux just made his digestive system act up.. he is 2 months old and has cried continuously
the signs and symptoms of cows milk protein allergy includes gastric upset , vomiting, cramps, failure to gain weight and sometimes diarrhoea / constipation or bloody stool . in sever cases of cows milk protein allergy neocate is the gold standard formula because it contains completely hydrolyzed proteins into amino acid which doesn't cause allergies unlike proteins . the only problem is its coast . so another option is to use partially hydrolyzed formula like Nan HA or bebelac HA . it has a reasonable price and effective . soy-based formulas are not recommended because they cross reacts with cow's milk ( about 60 % ) which can cause allergy . I hope this helps
