Hello!

I’m curious what your baby’s symptoms were that brought you to an elemental formula?

Callie doesn’t have blood in her stool and she is actually constipated vs. diarrhea. Her overwhelming symptom is cramping – I mean constant! I posted about it in another thread:) Laura stated it sometimes takes a month for the proteins to build up? She’s been on soy for a couple of months and her symptoms started a month ago. She is also on Prevacid for reflux.

Her 4 month is tomorrow – it is imperative we get her to a GI specialist asap. I’m concerned about the wait! Her ped said we may need to admit her in order for her to see a specialist more quickly….

We decided to admit my dd in order to get her seen by a GI specialist. It was the BEST thing we ever did for her. She was there for 5 days and we got a lot of answers that would have taken weeks otherwise.

To answer your question: with my older dd, her symptoms were constipation, excessive spit up, constant screaming. With my younger dd, her symptoms were refusal to eat and rashes.

I forgot to add that after I finally convinced the doctor that dd had a problem with milk, I found the research that shows that 25% of babies react to milk with constipation rather than diarrhea. Our ped kept saying that it couldn’t be a milk problem because she didn’t have diarrhea.
