Yes, he is currently on a milk based formula, President's Choice. A while ago I tried him on Nestle Good start because I came across some website that said the proteins are broken down more so therefore less allergic reaction. The reaction my son got was extreme irritability, diarrhea, refusal to eat much. On the other hand his eczema cleared up. But I switched him back to PResident's Choice, and as soon as I did he become extremely congested again, he's always congested now, and his eczema came back. He also seems to almost always have slight blood in his mucus in his nose.
We don't have Nutramigen here, we do have Ailamentum but it would cost me $80 for just one week of this stuff. He also seems to react terrible to Oats and Barley. Throwing up starts 2-3 hours after he eats just one spoonful of it, lots of throw up until it is completely out of his system, plus diarrhea, paleness, lethargic, but the doctor says he just has a sensitive tummy, even though no testing was done.
I don't have any pics of it because I can get rid of about 85% of it with the steroid cream. You can still see where on his skin it is/was, it is very minor if I keep up the steroid cream. But he also gets it on his cheeks real bad, he keeps rubbing it, scratching it. It is very flaky and red, and at its worse it opens and oozes, yeah real icky. Hard to get that cleared up because he keeps rubbing it. I pin his arms in his sleeper down to his sides when he sleeps since he was 4 months old. He also has it bad on his hands because I don't put the cream there as I'm afraid he'll put it in his mouth. His hands are super rough, feels like he is wearing mitts.
I use to have eczema when I was a kid, my dad did too. But never as bad as my son.
