Emma,

The rash was after drinking C&G milk.  Then we moved to C&G Comfort and have had no issues.

Michelle, again you make me feel better!! The difference between allergy and intolerance didn't even enter my head.

I hope your dd continues to do well on the cow and gate confort as the hypoallergenic formulas and elemental formulas taste and smell terrible.

Thanks for checking in on us everyone.

She's been doing great on the Comfort milk.  No issues at all. Fingers crossed things continue like that!

I had the same issues with my little girl. She couldn't handle regular formula and had a reaction to soy. I switched to Enfamil's Nutramigen. It is hypo-allergenic and reduces gas and colic, helps with excessive crying, helps reduce rashes, and is lactose free. These are all major issues I had with Rayne. She was on the formula 24 hours and you could swear I had a new baby. She was 75% better and much more manageable. She's on it awhile now and the issues are few and far between. Check out that formula. I swear by it!

WOWOW, sorry Nic, I almost spat my coffee out onto the key board.. THAT is as much a strep throat rash as what I am a Strep rash!!!!! Did the doctor SEE it or go on your description??

Glad it has not reoccured. Definitely an allergic reaction to something in that formula. And no, not just the higher lactose content!

HUGS to you and Callie!

I have to say I would be thinking about changing doctor. I hope things are still going well.

DI, your post made me laugh ... love all of the  :o :o ...

On a serious note ... he did see the rash   ::)  and still related it to the throat infection.  I can't remember what I have updated here (after being offline for so long) but when we went back for the check up I told him I had switched formula and had no rash again.  He reiterated that the rash was not an allergic reaction, in his opinion.  I asked if I should retry her on the original formula and he said not too.  Hmm .... suspicious.

Anyway ... things are great here.  Formula feeds going well.  No reflux or rash issues.  Just waiting to see what happens as we begin to introduce more foods/dairy etc.
