Ahhh I'm so confuzzled!!!!

Ok, so Miss M is on soy formula - the homeopath told us to put her on soy formula when her constipation was getting so bad she was bleeding in every bowel movement. (not to mention the screaming we endured from her)

So she is on soy, has been for a few months, and is still constipated, though has probiotics now so they are much better.

DH went to a health food store today - and saw a naturopath cos we had run out of probiotics.

He described her symptoms to her - and she said to get her off the soy formula ASAP - that she isn't lactose intolerant, but rather she bets its a casein allergy. *sigh*

I'm so sick of changing formulas.

She told us to go straight onto goats milk formula.

Why can't people make up their minds!!!!!

Hugs Mel... I hope you find the best options for her ASAP!!

must be sooooo frustrating hun! mmm. goats milk formula sounds delightful. poor miss m (& you)

Yes i have heard of this before. If you can find her (Katones) on here give her a quick email. She has put her little boy on goats formula and he is thriving on it and from memory he had problems with constipation too. She is a great lady and I'm sure she will answer your questions on Goats formula, either that or she will send me a PM and get mad coz i gave out her name.. lol

What a PITA for you Mel. It might be worth a visit to a paed allergist - unfortunately the best ones have a 12 months waiting list in Brissy but maybe you'd get in sooner up there? But I think it might be worth it for you to actually KNOW what's going on as opposed to continual guessing and second guessing. I hope you find some answers hun.

how bloody annoying!! But maybe, just maybe it will fix her problem hun Think of that!! Then it wont matter that you have been stuffed around cos little miss will finally be able to poop without pain!

Hun, can you go along to your GP and ask for a script for Neocate (which is a hypoallergenic formula)? I've not used it, so I'm not well-informed, but I know that it's with the script it's alot cheaper than regular formulas.

I'm tipping that the second naturopath is right, and she has issues with both dairy and soy. Maybe look into having some testing done so you know exactly what you're dealing with.
