Hi all, Haven't been on this site for a while now. Have a 2.5 year old boy who has reflux and MFPI. Things were horrendous initially although the right combination of milk and meds (neocate, omeprazole, cetrizine) along with probiotics and a lot of time has helped enormously ane he is a happy content boy albeit on avery restricted diet.Am currently pregnant with my 2nd due in about 6 weeks, and currently want to try breastfeeding again when the time comes, but realise I will probably have to…See More
Laura McKechnie replied to Vicki 's discussion Neocate advice"The same thing happened when my little boy started on neocate. I think it's because the mixture is so thin. He was sick every night just before bed for about 2-3 weeks.
It did stop eventually though, so keep persevering. …"
Laura McKechnie replied to ali's discussion probiotics and cmpi/mfpi"Yes - I've used probiotics on my LO for the last 9 /10 months now. I used the biocare probiotics - put some in the last bottle at night. My main reason for using them was - general despair as nothing else was working!! No, apologies…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Veronica Payne's discussion Wheat though and alternatives"Afraid the Orgran does have rice in it. Most of the wheat alternatives are rice and corn unfortunately. Did you try your LO on rice or was it baby rice. For some reason a lot of them seem to react to the baby rice but ok with other…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Natasha's discussion Probiotics"We used Biocare Infantis probiotics for Seb. I had about 10 weeks of antibiotics after I had him due to an infected c-section and although theres no proof I do believe the antibiotics affected his gut as I was breast feeding him. …"
Laura McKechnie replied to Veronica Payne's discussion Wheat though and alternatives"We are Milk, Egg, Wheat, Soya free amongst other things. Instead of wheat I feed Seb a lot of corn and rice pasta.Easy to pick up in the free from Aisle in tescos etc. if you live in abig town you can even get the Bob the Builder…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Lizzie G's discussion B/feeding mews and gluten free- what do I eat?!"
That's tough. Please be careful to make sure you are getting all the nutrients you need. I know I reached a point that I had to cut out so much from my diet there was very little I could eat, it was making me ill and…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Lizzie G's discussion white flag"Hi. Don't normally post but after reading your post I jsut wanted to give you a (virtual) big hug and promise that things do get better. My son is now 18 months and your story sounds so familiar. We had constant screaming, no…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny Rawling's discussion Matthew is two today!"Happy birthday Matthew! Hope he has a wonderful and theres lots more walking, talking, giggling and mischeviousness to come! Hopefully you can say goodbye to the reflux and intolerances once and for all soon.x"
Laura McKechnie replied to Michelle Jasper's discussion is my dairy free baby getting enough calcium?"Hi Michelle,
Are you under the care of a dietician at all? I was a bit worried that my son (16 months) wasn't getting enough calcium / vitamins etc as he was always ill so spoke to our dietician. I emailed her a list of…"

Hi all, I've got 8 unopened tins of Nutramigen Lipl 2 - if anyone wants them, I'm happy to give them to you - you'll just need to pay for the postage that's all. (or you can pick them up if you live round the somerset area!) It's partially hydrolysed rather than amino acid based, but a good starting point for a lot of LO's who are cows milk protein intolerant. Was just going to ditch them as I don't have the space to store them anymore but thought I would check here first. Hope everyones…See More
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Meal ideas for intolerant babies"Two main meals spring to mind:
1) Cottage Pie - lamb and courgette with mashed potato topping (i use vitalite to make the mash creamy)
2) Spaghetti Bolognaise - lamb mince with butternut squash sauce. I fry the mince then add chunks of…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Next step?"We were initially given ranitidine then omperazole too when my LO was very young and like yourself found it made no difference. The screaming, lack of sleep and refusing to feed still continued.
The switch to nutramigen and then neocate…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Sara C's discussion Not liking Omeprazole!"My son will not take the MUPs in a syringe. He is wise to it, will take the lot in his mouth and spit it straight back at you - nice!
I now dissolve the mups in a little bit of water add pear puree and he feeds himself it. Less stress…"
Laura McKechnie replied to Jenny B's discussion Anti histamine - side effects?"We use it long term without any problems. Hopefully the sticking the tongue is just developemntal as Jenny says. Enjoy the sleep and I hope things continue to improve.x"
