Hi everyone,
I've been on this site for a while now and had some fantastic advice so far! My main problem was sleep issues.
About 8/9 weeks ago my DS (9mnths) started having really bad diarrhoea, to the point it was yellow water and his bottom was so sore, he had this for 6 weeks and the doctor finally agreed to see him after fobbing me off with "its a virus" many times. I told him I thought it was lactose intolerance as my daughter was diagnosed with it at the same age after numerous hospital trips and blood in her stools etc. I recognised all the symptoms with my DS but my doctor wanted to try antibiotics "just incase". Anyway, this made things worse so I spoke to another doctor for a 2nd opinion and he prescribed Nutramigen lipil.
Things got better pretty much immediately, apart from the fact that DS hated the taste and I was adding a little bit of milkshake powder to get him to drink even a little bit, but its got much better and he now drinks it with no probs. But for the last week, the same symptoms are coming back, he doesn't seem himself, like his upset, and last night around 1am he just threw up in his bed. I don't feel it is a bug, no-one else here is ill, and his stools have done the same, brown to yellow sludge to yellow water (sorry if TMI) and I am wondering if he could still be reacting to this milk.
Does anyone have any experience with these milks? My daughter was on Neocate but the doctor I spoke to yesterday same Nutramigen is the same, amino acid based?
Any ideas?
TIA x
