Ok, so last night we made the switch from Nutramigen to Similac Isomil Soy. So far no signs of tummy issues and no spitting up, but he has had the hiccups four times today. Do you think the formula switch may have aggravated his reflux or is the beginning of an allergy to soy too??

how often does he normally get the hiccups?? because this is a sign of SILENT relfux. .. he may still be refluxing but its not coming up as much.. most likey because its a bit thicker then the nutramigen.

hopefully it might be better for him.

i am not too familiar with your sons story..but what are you trying to “fix”?.. does he cry in pain on the nutramigen? or is he still just refluxing?

Yesterday he got them every time I fed him or even gave him his prevacid. He does have silent reflux. I am trying soy bc on the nutramigen he was still crying a lot, spitting up, and getting upset after feeding. I had a friend who had a baby with milk allergy and he did great on soy, so I thought we would give it a try. Bc we also did elecare and he was so gassy and constipated and had horrible stomach aches, and he barely at it.

My LO couldn’t tolerate milk based, sensitive formula or soy. I believe 50% of infants that don’t tolerate the milk base also cannot tolerate the soy. It took a week or so to see how much he couldn’t tolerate it. Dr Phillips from MArci Kids also told me the hiccups are a result of too much gas in the stomach, so he may not be doing well with the soy. We put our Lo on the added rice starch, the protien is broken down a lot making it much easier to digest, it is like night and day…it is thicker and we have had no problems with it. His gas is normal and his stomach doesn’t have the loud gurgling it use to make with the soy. He was also constipated on the soy.
Good luck, there is so much trial and error when trying to figure out what is best, but when you find the majic como it is all worth it.
