...from the mouth to the stomach, where the majority of digestion begins. Disorders of the Esophagus The LES prevents the stomach contents and acids from coming up into the esophagus. When the LES does not work properly, stomach acids can travel backwards into the esophagus, a condition we know as reflux. This can lead to symptoms like heartburn, coughing, or hoarseness. When reflux occurs frequently and causes symptoms, this is known as Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease...

...Amino Acid-based Formulas Amino acid-based formulas do not contain any intact protein or peptide chains. Instead, they contain the original building blocks of all proteins – amino acids. Amino acids are the most basic unit the body can use for protein, the easiest form to digest and absorb. Free amino acids cannot trigger an allergic reaction by the body’s immune system. They’re so small that the immune system can’t “see” them the way it sees...

...this is just as new to them as it is to you. If your baby needs to drink an amino acid-based infant formula or if you are trying your toddler (with your doctor’s or dietitian’s advice) on a milk elimination diet, your family needs to be prepared. Children who are able to consume milk and dairy need to understand that their sibling has to eat and drink different “special” foods. They need to be a...

...both confirmed the diagnosis of milk and soy allergies, allergy-related eosinophilic esophagitis and allergy-related gastroesophageal reflux. Riley’s pediatrician recommended Neocate Infant, a hypoallergenic, amino acid-based formula. Because Neocate is made up of individual amino acids (the building blocks of protein), it was easier for Riley to digest than the hydrolysate formulas he originally tried which contain protein chains that have only been partially broken down. Within 36 hours of starting on Neocate, Riley’s diarrhea stopped,...

...He prescribed Neocate, an amino acid-based formula used in the dietary management of infants and children with milk and soy allergy. Unlike the hydrolosate formula, an amino-acid based formula is comprised of individual non-allergenic amino acids that Natalie could digest. Within the first twenty-four hours Natalie’s condition improved. Within the next few weeks her mother noticed a drastic change. “There’s no more screaming, no more pain and she doesn’t even need the reflux medicine anymore,”...

...We’ve talked about Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) before, and today we wanted to talk about dysphagia and aspiration, two things that can be associated with GERD. GERD Dysphagia refers to the inability of food and/or liquids to pass easily from the mouth, into the throat, through the esophagus and into to the stomach during the process of swallowing.[1] In more simple terms, it means “difficulty swallowing.” Many medical conditions can cause dysphagia but in...
