Kara I didn't know goodstart had only whey protein in it - good to know I just may try it.
Bad news though, our insurance says they don't accept to pay for hypo allergenic formula beyond one year unless he's done a challenge. I explained to them in detail the circumstances, sent a 2-page fax to get them the whole story, now they want to speak to his GI but she's on sick leave, and the deadline is coming soon (they're only paying until Dec. 7).
I'm so scared they are going to refuse to pay, there is no way we can afford it we have some meds that we'll have to pay for DS that cost in excess of $1000 per month, there's no way I can pay the formula on top of that.
I'm hesitating now between waiting to see if they accept our position, or going right away with a trial just in case so we don't get stuck. Our GI has said we can try it if we want but she still recommends waiting and prioritizing new solid foods rather than dairy trial. Poor boy has been through enough I don't want to make him suffer through a potentially failed trial right now.
