[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 90469, member: 3907"] I had to use Nutramigen with my little easy child as well. He reacted to breast milk, regular formula, goodstart and just about everything else out there. Eventually he graduated to Lactose free formula, and now he can tolerate dairy products fairly well. His Paed. and a few others suggested that his trouble with milk was related to asthma. (Milk allergies and asthma are quite common, apparently) [b]Mildred[/b], I have used food elimination diets with difficult child. He has a lot of food sensitivities that result in very erratic, manic, out-of-control behaviour. Since there's no consistent pattern to his food allergies (e.g. anything with dairy, or all artificial colours), we have been doing a modified elimination diet for the past several years. We have a core list of "safe" foods which he can eat any time. I keep a spreadsheet of the "banned" foods that cause him to react. Whenver difficult child is about to try a new food (or even a different brand of a safe food) we make sure that he is only trying one new thing at a time, and we observe him carefully for the next few hours. If there is no adverse reaction, we add that to the safe list. Otherwise, it goes on the banned list. AllStressedOut and other members have mentioned elimination diets in some of their posts. It might be a good idea for you to look through their posts to see if you can find them. (I'm still fairly new to the site too, and don't fully understand how the archives and searching work) All the best, Trinity [/QUOTE]
