Elecare

[Anonymous]

For those of you who’s lo’s are using it….

My ds was just put on Elecare hypoallergenic formula (I guess it’s a presciption only formula since you can’t buy it in stores) and is doing wonderfully. (Finally!!! Only 5months of trial and error and puking and screaming) He has severe reflux and milk protein (and probably other) allergies. He tried Allimentum and Nutramigen and did horribly–gagged constantly- even stopped breathing a few of the times- and did not help the reflux/vommiting a single bit. Elecare is so dang expensive (case of 6 (14oz cans)=$189)- I was wondering how you all are doing it (making it buying this stuff) and IF you were able to get it covered by your insurance. Any help would be greatly appreciated! TIA!

My son was on Elecare from 8weeks until almost 7 months when he weaned himslef(refused to drink it anymore). I never did have ANY luck with insurance covering it so I am no help there, but I do have 9 cans leftover that I am selling for a good price. I am asking only $15.00 per can . That is $135.00 for 9 cans instead of 189.00 for 6. 6 of them are in a still infactory sealed case, the other 3 are sealed cans but the “case” was opened. THey expire in nov 2009. If you are willing to pay shipping (I am in MI) I would be happy to sell them to someone who can use them from this site bcuz it has been a godsend to me! Let me know if you are interested.
