We just saw a pedi GI on Thursday for the first time and he is having us do a 7 day Neocate trial to rule out a milk protein intolerance vs. acid reflux alone. Miles seems to be doing okay on the Neocate (haven’t seen any improvement in symptoms yet though. In fact, he seems to be spitting up more than before) but he is having a really hard time with the thin consistency of the Neocate. He is choking on every bottle we give him now (he wasn’t doing that on his other formula) and then refuses to eat after he has a choking spell. Has anyone else had this happen? And did anyone’s LO get worse on Neocate before they got better? The GI said not to give him ANYTHING else during the next 7days, like cereal. We switched to the slowest flow nipples we have and he still seems to have trouble. I don’t know what to do! I’m skeptical of products like ThickIt and SimplyThick, but they may be the only solution. And of course all this is happening on the weekend and a holiday week when the doc’s office is closed. Any advice would be so greatly appreciated! Thanks! LuvsTexas2010-11-20 18:35:27
