Neocate formula is completely elemental, contains no milk product, whereas I believe formulas like pepti junior and nutragima (sp) contain milk which is very very chopped up and easier to digest (called semi elemental).  Neocate is for babies with very bad milk allergies that are not helped by the semi elemental formulas.  My DD has to have neocate as she reacts very badly to pepti and nutragima

Nice to see you around again, how are things going?

HI Emma, things are the same as usual, he's still waking at night, after 8 months i'm exhausted! He's now started to have allergic reactions to food, breaks out in huge blotches on his face and at the w/e started wheezing as well, but cant work out whats causing it. Hows things with you now?

Yeah going good, abbi only has 15oz of formula a day but is on calcium supplements. Sounds like you need to see a dietician with him, and maybe neocate would help?

Hugs, what a shame things haven't improved, if you need a chat pm me whenever

lol yeah it was and I did, am now mrs collins lol!  GP should be able to refer, but from what I remember isn't your gp an ass?!?!? If you are having a prescribed formula and obvious allrgy symptoms there is NO reason they cannot refer you  :-*
