Nutramigen was awesome for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730906 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 19:37:23 +0000 Smurfette 1730906@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: yay! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730899 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 19:35:11 +0000 MrsF 1730899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So glad he's doing better! Nutramigen was a total lifesaver here. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730841 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 18:58:05 +0000 spaniellove 1730841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: Oh that's right! I will...thank you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730830 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 18:47:35 +0000 ladybee 1730830@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: that's great news! Trying to figure out which formula was best was a nightmare for us. I hope it continues to go well! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730821 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 18:40:46 +0000 swedishfish 1730821@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I'm so glad J is doing better! Gold wall me your address...I have that Similac coupon for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1730817 Sun, 29 Jun 2014 18:38:17 +0000 spaniellove 1730817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We ended up getting Alimentum last night and he is finally eating without the congestion, gagging, and screaming! It's so nice to see him at peace. Interestingly, the rash on his face is also going away. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729901 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 20:40:39 +0000 seabsher 1729901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We tried 3 formulas for our little guy, and Nutramigen worked for him. However, he did not have reflux from the formula. Instead he had other digestive issues that caused us to switch. Fair warning--it smells horrible, and I am told it tastes horrible at first too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729802 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 19:49:36 +0000 blackbird 1729802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't change formulas and did Zantac. And it was amazing </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729671 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 17:30:54 +0000 spaniellove 1729671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: @swedishfish: Thanks! He is completely refusing any of the three at this point and just screaming when the formula hits his throat. He is so not a crier/screamer and I've really never heard him cry even a fraction of how much he's cried today...they're recommending using a syringe for the rest of the night (gah, just threw out all my IF supplies!) and coming in tomorrow to see about some Nutramigen. Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729533 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 13:45:48 +0000 swedishfish 1729533@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I breastfed for 6 months and LO was fine with dairy in my diet but wasn't able to take the milk protein or soy formulas. She got hives. She also spit up quite a lot. R has been on Alimentum since September and she's done much better on it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729526 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 13:37:37 +0000 MamaMoose 1729526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My doc doesn't do allergy testing on infants since they change so often anyway. So really your only option is to try it and see if it works. I breastfed so I did elimination for allergies but I have heard from friends that Alimentum was great for their LO's. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/alimentumnutramigen-etc-for-reflux-did-it-help#post-1729523 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 13:34:30 +0000 spaniellove 1729523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I suspected recently that LO had a milk allergy and now the pedi says he has reflux for sure. He wanted to switch formulas before using Zantac. Similac Advance didn't work and neither did Similac Sensitive or Spit Up, so the next step I think is the hydrolyzed stuff. Given that LO hasn't actually had a test for milk allergy yet, I'm wondering if there's a chance it'll help... </p>
