[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP with the food intolerant baby (I'm PP 22:04) -

My DD has been through hell with food allergy issues. We tried it all: Zantac, Prevacid, soy/dairy free diet, Nutramigen formula. Nothing helped until I put her on Elecare. Now she's doing great. I was sorry to stop nursing, but I got over it really fast when I saw that she could finally eat without pain. Now we're doing solids and I was very nervous but it's gone so well because I think the Elecare gave her gut a chance to heal and mature. So far we've done rice cereal, sweet potatoes, carrots, squash, pears and bananas. I hope you can find some relief soon too. Have you considered using an elemental formula? I know it's a really hard decision to make if you're committed to breastfeeding. Good luck. [/quote]

PP, so sorry you've dealt with this too!!  I think we might have crossed paths on another thread... I was on a complete elimination diet from 8 weeks through 5 months to keep nursing DS, but finally gave it up and switched to formula for the sake of our family.  Such a difficult decision, but it was the right thing.  He was on Allimentum at first and then we switched to Nutramigen.  When we were having difficulties with the Alimentum I spoke to the Ped, and she told us Nutramigen was our last option.  I'm not sure why Elecare wasn't suggested, but he seems to do ok on the Nutramigen alone at this point.  It's when we try introducing anything else that we're seeing problems again.  Maybe I should do what you did and just back off trying to introduce any additional foods for another month and give him a chance to heal, and in the meantime just give him the Nutramigen, green beans and bananas.  We have an appt with the Ped on Monday, so I'll speak with her about it then.  Thank you so much, and I'm glad introducing foods is going so well with your DD![/quote]
