Abby is MSPI and has reflux. She has been on Neocate since she was 4 months old. She tested negative for both milk and soy allergies. I had her stool tested for milk and soy intolerance and it came back positve. No suprise there!
She is now almost 14 months and I am trying to switch her to goat's milk. We are switching insurances companies in July and I am not sure if the new one will cover the Neocate like our current one and it is so expensive!
I started adding 1 ounce of goat's milk to her am bottle 2.5wks ago. I did this for 1wk then increased it to 2ounces for another week. Then I added 2 ounces to her afternoon bottle. So far I haven't seen any reactions. I am wondering how slow to intro it? I called her pedi GI for help and she basically told me not to switch her to goat's milk b/c it is low in proteins. She said to keep her on the Neocate. We aren't even going back to the GI after lots of problems with her and rudness to me on the phone! Well I called her pedi and he said it is fine just to add a multi-vitamin with folic acid in it to her diet.
Has anyone with a MSPI lo switched to goat's milk? And how slow did you intro it?
Thanks!
Andrea
