Alternative Birthday Cakes: How to Give Your Little One a Happy Birthday despite Food Restrictions
05/03/2012
Birthday cakes are so much more than just the ingredients that go into them. They are symbolic of accomplishment, celebration and childhood in general. Each birthday cake is a milestone for another celebrated year of life. Every parent feels an instinctive need to provide their child with a birthday cake. When your child has a food allergy or other condition limiting the food that they can eat, a typical birthday cake may not...
Signs and Symptoms for Using Amino Acid-Based Formulas for Cow Milk Allergy
Signs and Symptoms for Using Amino Acid-Based Formulas for Cow Milk Allergy
08/31/2018
When a baby with food allergies needs formula, they need a formula that won’t trigger an allergic response. Hypoallergenic formulas are tailor-made for infants with food allergies. A hypoallergenic formula provides protein from either peptides (extensively hydrolyzed protein, to be exact) or from non-allergenic amino acids. But extensively hydrolyzed formulas (eHF) and amino acid-based formulas (AAF) aren’t the same. An eHF manages symptoms for most infants with CMA (at least 90% of uncomplicated...
Elimination Diet vs. Elemental Diet: Differences Explained
10/25/2011
If your little one uses any of the Neocate products, you’ve probably heard the term “elemental diet.” And if your son or daughter has eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), you’ve probably also heard of an “elimination diet.” These two aren’t always the same, so here’s a quick primer on the two. What is an Elemental Diet? The term “elemental diet” is a historic term that was used to refer to diets where the component nutrients...
Celebrating Birthdays with Allergy-Friendly Treats and Alternative Birthday Cakes
08/23/2017
Needing allergy-friendly treats to host a birthday party for your food-allergic child who’s on a restricted diet? When your child has a food allergy or another condition limits foods he can eat, a typical birthday cake may not be an option. For example, most cakes and baked goods call for dairy, eggs, and wheat. All three are among the top eight allergens in the US! In fact, fish and shellfish are the only...
Elimination Diets and ADHD
04/12/2011
In light of a recent New York Times article highlighting the link between artificial dyes and ADHD in children, we felt we should further explain how this debate originally started. A couple of days ago there was a spark in the news about the government reevaluating the safety of food dyes found in many everyday foods we all have in our pantries. The evaluation came when select studies were suggesting a link between...
Elimination Diets and Breastfeeding
01/31/2013
We often hear from moms of infants with cow milk allergy who would like to continue breastfeeding their infant. It’s very rare that an infant will be truly allergic to the breast milk: usually the infant reacts to one or more foods in the mother’s diet that affect breast milk contents. For this reason, many clinicians might suggest that a mom try to follow an elimination diet to continue breastfeeding. Other times, they...
Amino-Acid Based Formula and Constipation
11/24/2009
I get a lot of questions from Neocate parents about constipation. Amino acid-based formulas like Neocate Infant do not technically cause constipation, but instead slow down the frequency of the bowel movements in babies. Neocate is a low residue formula, meaning that it has very little waste to excrete which causes less frequent bowel movements – everything in the formula is getting absorbed! Also, some babies on Neocate may have already been prone...
Antimicrobials: Are they linked to food allergies?
08/23/2012
Today, antimicrobials are added to many personal care products, such as soaps, mouthwash, toothpaste, hand sanitizers and disinfectants. If your purse is anything like mine, you have a miniature bottle of hand sanitizer with you at all times, especially during cold and flu season. But some experts worry that our society’s overuse of antimicrobials could have some negative effects. These chemicals can be absorbed through the skin when used and end up in...
