My 8 week old grandson is suffering from severe colitis and bleeding in his stools. He is a twin but his sister has no problems and is being breastfed. He has seen a doctor and been given steroids and Neocate formula for a few weeks but is still suffering stomach cramps/distress and is losing weight. Is there any other formula that may be more suitable that you know about, or any ideas from your part of the world? Many thanks
Hello, It seems like some inflammatory bowel problem. Lactose intolerance could also be the cause. Given lactose free formula first and give it in dilution. When start tolerating then increase up to exact proportion. Some babies are also allergic to breastfeed. Give a trial of stopping it for a while and check results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
