Any sense to this???

Hi!. Carson is 23 months – only weighs 21.11 pounds and on 30mg Prilosec/day. He has severe reflux and MSPI. He has good days and very bad days. Often the week is split by both. I asked our spec when we were going to be off the Neocate as we are really starting to struggle after 2 years of this extremely expensive formula. He said we could try Vital Jr. It is made by Ross – makers of Pediasure. I then talked alone to the nutritionist. I asked if the doctor was just appeasing ME and if I should still wait to give this to Carson. She said that there is a chance he could tolerate it as it is broken down even more than, say, Nutramagin, but that it does have very broken down whey.

OK. It is more expensive than neocate.

If he DOES NOT tolerate it, we have 7-10 days of he _ _ to go through until it is out of his system.

If he DOES tolerate it, there aren’t any other foods he can eat – so, should I even try??????

Any great suggestions??

If it has whey and is more expensive than Neocate, than I think that I would just stick with the neocate. There are a lot cheaper ways to trial milk products and it sounds like you’re not ready for that anyway. I’m afraid that I don’t have any other brilliant ideas for you though. Sorry.

I agree, if it is more expensive plus has the whey, I would just stick with the neocate for now. Good luck!

Thanks. I just sometimes don’t think straight after all of this stress.
