You can read about my two-day experience of nothing but Neocate here. And two days is nothing: there are many teens and even adults who...

Here’s what you need to know: Neocate’s tailored nutrition The Neocate products are all designed and tailored for specific...

...once again to the pediatrician and during that visit, it was decided to move him completely to an elemental diet. Roland began a Neocate only diet at a little over 3 months along with a PPI to heal the damage from the reflux and vomiting. Within 2 weeks of the Neocate, most of Roland’s lower GI issues resolved. His stools became fairly normal, gassiness and painful stomach cramping began to clear, and chronic diaper rash...
