Types of Formulas To Prevent/Treat Allergic Reactions

Post by mjane » Sat Jul 11, 2015 9:07 pm

Hello,

After some advice please, if some one can help - is this correct/opinion:

Allergies and food reactions in infants and children are common and may be associated with a variety of foods including adapted cow's milk formula. Parents often consider using special infant formulas for preventing or treating allergic disorders. What types of formula are available in these circumstances and are they effective in reducing allergic reactions


The types of formula available include: - Soy-based formula - Hypoallergenic formulas (protein hydrolysate formulas) - Lactose-free formulas - Special formulas prescribed by your doctor e.g. reflux formulas - - The variety of formulas are effective, although ensuring you use the correct formula for the particular affecting allergy is a must

Thank you =)
