This weekend we went out of town. We left on Friday,
and little man did not drink his hemp milk formula all day- he was very pale
and did not look well by Friday night - is this from the reintroduction of
Alimentum or from taking it away?? He was sleeping a lot (not a bad
thing for a travel day) but.... we were worried. Saturday he
continued to be very pale and low energy; so we decided by Saturday afternoon
to give him some Alimentum in his bottles- just a 1/2-1oz. It really did help
his energy and color. And the other build symptoms didn't start creeping
in until the drive home and even then, they were manageable. Did we find
a threshold? Is this more clues to if it is enteropathy or carbohydrate
intolerance? Maybe. Maybe we'll never know. Maybe he'll be
able to tolerate the ProViMin and we can simply move ahead.
ProViMin is just that- Protein and Vitamin/Minerals.
It is a powder formula made for metabolic disorders. It does not
have carbohydrates and has very minimal fats (coconut oil), however it does
have sodium caseinate, along with amino acids, for the protein source.
Sodium caseinate is a milk derivative. A milk allergic person would
be advised to avoid it, someone with a "light" milk allergy may be
able to tolerate it- it would be the equivalent of a person allergic
to milk but able to tolerate butter (doesn't happen very often). We are
essentially challenging dairy with the trial of this formula- although we will
still have to trial other dairy separately.
We started it this evening. Tomorrow will tell us more of how he is doing, so far tonight he has been ok.
