my 5 mo dd is MSPI. She was on Neocate thickened w. simply thick since 2 weeks old. 2 weeks ago we started the ALL NEW Neocate and at the same time she started spitting up extreme amounts sometimes making a noise that sounded like vomiting. I was having to feed avery 2 hours!!! Anyway…we decided to switch her to Elecare. The 1st couple of days things seemed better THEN wee are back to HUGE spit ups! At first while burping she will reflux then a little later she makes a noise like she is thowing up and out comes several ounces at a time. This doesnt happen everytime…though. I took her off all solids (to her dismay ) and nothing changed. I am only feeding a fruit in the am (apples, pears or bananas) and vegetable at dinner (sweet potato or squash). I took away all grains as I am allergic to wheat and was afraid that this could be an issue. I didnt see any improvement. Her BM are MUCH looser on the elecare than the Neocate as well. Is this normal? It is so hard to tell when they are on Simply thick. It makes it so gel like! Any suggestions would be great. My GI is out of the country for a MONTH!!! and her ped will not help since she didnt switch her to Elecare. Tonight I picked her up she spit up so strong that it shot out about a foot! This was 1.5 hours after she ate.
I’ve been told that if the vomit shoots out that far it is called projectile vomiting and could be a sign of Pyloric Stenosis, so if it continues I would definitely take her to see a doctor and not wait for the GI to come back from vacation.
I’m sorry I don’t know anything about Elecare so I can’t help you there.
