[quote=Anonymous]We tried both with DS. We started with Nutramigen and everything seemed great for about a week, then his symptoms got worse again. Although many kids with dairy protein intolerance can handle the small amount in Nutamigen, he could not (still tested positive for blood in the stool).  I've heard from others that it isn't uncommon for some kids to do well on it for a few weeks and then backslide into have problems again. 
We switched to Elecare and it made a HUGE difference for him - eczema disappeared, he slept better, and he wasn't nearly as fussy as before (no more screaming before/during/after eating).  He is now on the toddler version of it, Elecare Jr. We had tried cooked dairy almost a year ago and it was a huge fail. 
We've had 3 different insurance companies and all have covered it to varying degrees (80 - 100%). Deliveries are through a supplier like Apria or another home health company.  Unlike the PP, we don't need to be home for them. It's shipped as a dry powder that you mix with water. 
Agree with the PP that the congestion may be due to reflux. It's not uncommon for a kid with food allergies/intolerances to have reflux. [/quote]
