overwhelmed

I answered your other post.

You may want to read some of the information in the MSPI Forum. Many babies who have problems with dairy will also have problems digesting soy.

Yes, there is definitley hope. The right combination of a good PPI (at the right dose) and the right forumla can really turn things around. The medication part of the puzzle is the easier part to solve…..try to push for a PPI and don’t even bother with Zantac or other H2 Blockers because they rarely are effective enough to help our babies.

The formula part of the puzzle can be the bigger challenge. Personally if I thought one of my babies was intolerant to milk I’d probably skip the soy and go right to a specialty formula like Alimentum or Nutramigen. You should stick with a formula for two weeks because it can take that long for offending proteins to be rid from the body.

I didn’t have MSPI babies so I don’t know a whole lot about it (only what I’ve read here), but many moms here have or are dealing with it and will be able to give you some advice.

Good luck and hang in there.

I’ve agree with Christine about the Alimentum or Nutramigen formula – however, these both still have milk proteins in them. My son still reacted to Alimentum. You might want to consider trying Neocate or EleCare since they are amino-acid based and are milk/soy free. If you get milk and soy totally out of the picture, you can concentrate on stabilizing your little one on the meds. Then, once stable, you could reintroduce Alimentum or Nutramigen to see if the milk is a factor. Just a thought.

Emily: What is DGE?

Thanks, Dianne
