My baby has corn sugar intolerance like his father. Are there any corn-free formula products?
Even though corn is not listed in some formulas, when I call the company they say that “dextrose” a corn product is used as a carrier for the vitamins. My baby has less problems with these products but still has a problem.

We are having the same problem with our 3 month old twins and just switched to the corn-free ready to feed formula. They have horrible oozing eczema like you described. How long was it before you noticed a difference in your child’s skin after switching the formulas?

I’m SOOOOOOO glad i cam across this!!!!! My daughter is now 7 months old and I’ve been trying to figure out for months why the only thing my daughter could stomach was Similac Sensitve RTF. I remeberd my dr saying she could have a corn allergy and dissmised it because I thought it was a lactose and soy sensitivity because she was on a commercial formula. I’m seting up an appointment with her Pedi to get a referal to an Allergy Specalist on Monday! Thanks so much it’s so nice to finally have an idea of whats going on!

This article saved our baby from so much suffering. I cannot thank you enough. Our 4 month old has had welts, rashes, and fire red skin for weeks. Doctors were baffled and told us it must be a dairy intolerance( I was nursing). Suggested I stop nursing and we try him on a hypoallergenic formula like Nutramigen. His skin got worse. So they switched us to Neocate and his skin got even worse(nevermind we paid $60 for the can). I finally came across this article and ordered Allimentum ready to feed and IMMEDIATELY his skin(and sufferering) ceased!! The power of the internet is amazing. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. He is allergic to corn! I never would’ve thought of this. We were so desperate and scared for our little baby. Now we have to figure out if our insurance covers it!

I was wondering something after I stopped breastfeeding my son I started him on the same formula as I did my daughter the regular Enfamil and it constipated him and we found he need the gentle formula and his Dr has not done any test to find out why and I was wondering if there is a chance he could have problems drinking regular milk? He is almost 1 and I’m trying to think ahead..

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone has tried the Weston A Price hypoallergenic baby food formula recipe? I hear so many negatives about using beef broth as the base and I was just wondering if anyone has any feedback? I am considering this for my 6 month old twin daughters who both have milk allergies. Thanks

My daughter is 15months and ever since iput her on the whole milk wen she turned 1 its been hectic. When she takes whole milk she gets costipated and struggles to poop. she becomes cranky and clingy. Itook her to the doctor numerous times after isaw that it was the same reaction wit 2% and 1% and the doctor told me to keep her on it. She was still reacting the same way only there was blood in her stools. after that her doctor agreed to put her on Soy milk but im conserned that she’s not getting her calcium and also iwant to know what is wrong tht she doesnt respond well to Whole Milk or any other milk.If anyone has advice or suggestions please help!

Just wanted to update on my original post, although my daughter has been through some rough couple of months I have been able to have her drink formula. She is taking neocate, but I have to add extra water, she doesn’t keep it down if i prepare it the way the bottle says. She throws up maybe once a week which is a huge improvement. I am very glad to have found this website, it was of great help and resourceful. Thank you Caryn.

Hi Tara,
I am so sorry for the late response.
I am glad to announce my daughter has started Neocate, but I need to add extra water because she wont keep down the formula how it is normally suppose to be prepared im not sure if its because of the texture. Please feel free to email me I will be online all day today.
Hope everything is working out.

Valerie, Check out Weston Price Foundation homemade formula recipes. Maybe this is something you can consider. We don't get raw milk here (Illinois), but there is a nice explanation for organic/grass fed animals, raw versus pasteurized and nutrients that need to be supplemented. Let us know how you get on!
