It has been 4 months since Buddy was diagnosed with celiac disease. He is feeling well and his mood is upbeat. He gets out of the car at school in the morning with a smile on his face - ready to start the day! He is still off of the reflux medication and only takes Miralax as needed. He is having trouble with dairy though...we keep trying it, but it gives him reflux, tummy pain, and constipation. Still holding onto hope that this is just a temporary intolerance...same issue with fructose. Because he is so limited, we had to do something to supplement his calories and nutrients....
We started Buddy on Neocate E028 Splash, an elemental formula, 9 days ago because he was looking pretty thin and was feeling weak. He really likes it and would probably drink 5 a day if I let him, but I am encouraging him to eat as much as possible and letting him have the Splash in between meals. They come in juice boxes, which are very convenient and easy to grab on the go. The orange-pineapple has the best flavor. Grape tasted really strong, like grape flavored medicine, and the tropical tasted like grapefruit juice. The only downside to the formula is the COST...it is VERY expensive. I believe a case contains 27 boxes and it costs $127! He went through 1 case in a week! This is why I am limiting him to 2 a day. We'll see if it's enough...
Here are the product details from Neocate:
E028 Splash is amino acid-based nutrition for the dietary management of cow milk allergy, multiple food protein intolerance (MFPI) and food-allergy-associated conditions: gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), short bowel syndrome (SBS), malabsorption and other GI disorders
E028 Splash is the only amino acid-based nutrition in convenient, ready-to-drink form for children on the go. It is nutritionally complete and available in three great-tasting flavors: grape, tropical fruit and orange-pineapple.
