Cows Milk protein allergy, anyone on Alfamino?

My little boy is 10 weeks old with a CMPA. We were previously on Nutramigen but he was still reacting - sickness, reflux and extremely digested. We switched to Alfamino yesterday afternoon and tonight he's been screaming for hours, writhing and clenching his fists. Is that normal?

    Sounds like my daughter, we are on Neocate and really struggling with keeping feeds down even with thickener and meds. Have things improved now?

    Hi @Tara1412, he's settled on the Alfamino but still very refluxy. He's 17 weeks now and we started a milk challenge on our dietitians advice the other day so we could confirm CMPA before we try weaning. It was awful. He had 2 feeds with 1oz normal formula in each and was covered in a rash, screaming, thrashing about and 2 days of awful nappies. We were given gaviscon for his reflux but it didn't do much and caused constipation. Now waiting on a call back to see if he can try something else although it has improved on its own slightly the last 2 weeks (worse in the last few days since the challenge though!)

    What thickener do you use? We seem to react to carobel too so couldn't use it 😔
