Has anyone found success in using the Soy Formula?? My dd is having a choking spit up episode 1 1/2 after eating–

most babies that have a milk protein intolerance also have a soy protein intolerance. many reflux babies are MSPI.

however i dont think that spitting up alone shows intolerance to protein, i could be wrong though…my son spit up everything at that age regardless of what kind of liquid it was.

What are indicators of MSPI?

Not including the little kiddies that need Neocate, what OTC formulas have you all found success with?

well a lot of babies do great on nutrimagen/alimentum. my son did ok on these for a few weeks until the milk proteins built up on his system. his symtpoms were fussiness and reflux pain even though he was on a high dose of PPI. he also had some mucous in the poops and slept terribly. oh yeah, he had MAJOR gas too!nataliachick72007-6-3 15:6:41

My firstborn who had milder reflux and spit up TONS did much better on soy. His stomach was really gassy on milk based and soy reduced the amount of spitting too (and that may be b/c it just helped the overall GI issues with his stomach to be on soy). He never required hypo formula strangely enough. Landen is another story as you know! lol

Thanks for your input–I am going to contact both the gen ped and the GI spec. tomorrow before I do anything–she does seem to be a bit gassy and the gassiness surfaces at least an hour after feeding–so maybe doing the soy or looking into the alimentum?

Natalia, when Leah was in the hospital they checked her stool for blood which they said it didn’t have I am assuming they were looking into MSPI and one of the docs discussed Alimentum but Leah seemed to be doing well with the thickened feed and PPI that the dr. said not to change the formula~and I am so nervous to do anything to make the reflux worse–

Jill, I’ll be thinking to you and Landen tomorrow! I decided to not go back to work at the end of June for school~ these new episodes have brought me right back, luckily they aren’t as severe I am hoping the soy might be another way to give Leah some relief from the gas.
