Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 Our son is undergoing tests right now. He quite possibly might have something called galactocemia. This means that he does not possess the enzyme to break down the galactose in milk. If he has this than he will not be able to nurse or drink milk based formula. Right now he's drinking soy formula until we find out the results for sure. I know one thing for sure and that is that I don't want him drinking soy formula! Does anyone have any suggestions for alternative formulas that are not milk or soy based? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 19, 2008 Report Share Posted December 19, 2008 You may want to check out pure whey isolates (not concentrates). In isolates of whey all the casein and sugar components should be filtered out leaving eminently digestible peptides of whey plus components (immunoglobulins) similar ro the colostum from mother's first milk. It also may be possible to add enzymes to the formula that will help digest galactose. ( I have many healthy famiy members who used their own whey formula to start their children in life when their mother could not produce milk or adequate quantities of it.) Enzymedica is a company that specializes in producing digestive enzyme complexes. You probably will find them to be of great help in these matters. I have no connection with that company, so this is not an advertisement for them. Just a recommendation.--- On Fri, 12/19/08, mommy2threelilboys <mommyon731 wrote: mommy2threelilboys <mommyon731 alternative baby formulas?

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 I was born lactate intolerant back in 32 and mother's, cow, goat and condensed milk all gave me colic. It was by chance they discovered I could make it on Eagle brand condensed milk and at that time during the depression, that was the most expensive milk on the market. That was the only thing that kept me alive. Harvey - mommy2threelilboys Tuesday, December 23, 2008 7:17 PM Re: alternative baby formulas?

Guest guest Posted December 25, 2008 Report Share Posted December 25, 2008 This is more than just an intolerance though. Google galactosemia. He does not possess the enzyme needed to break down lactose. If he has anything with lactose in it, he could die. , " Jane MacRoss " <highfield1 wrote: > > I fed my dd that for some of the time when I ran out of milk - you have to watch for constipation > > Jane > - > Harvey Flatbush > > Thursday, December 25, 2008 2:22 PM > Re: Re: alternative baby formulas? > > > I was born lactate intolerant back in 32 and mother's, cow, goat and condensed milk all gave me colic.

Guest guest Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 Please cut it out. Karo syrup is corn syrup which provokes a toxic reaction in the colon. It causes spasms that push the stool out of the colon to rid the body of this waste material. Condensed milk is almost as bad. Nothing healthy about any of thses non-food substances!--- On Thu, 12/25/08, Rebecca Smith <smithcfsrjs wrote: Rebecca Smith <smithcfsrjsRe: Re: alternative baby formulas?
