We were using the original pepticate formula and my daughter was doing awesome! Her eczema cleared up, she wasn't scratching her skin incessantly, her poops became more regulated, and she loved the taste. We also really appreciated the reasonable amount of iron in the original formula because US brands have WAY too much iron -which is less about the needs of the babies but more about cutting costs. We were so thrilled to find Pepticate seeing how she really hated the taste of all other hypoallergenic formulas and they were causing constipation (most likely related to iron dosages). WELL, ever since they changed the nutrient profile (to meet US regulations) her constipation has returned and her poops have been formed, hard, and painful to pass. She even recently got an anal fissure (tear in her tush) due to the constipation caused by this formula. It's so disheartening because there is literally no other formula that she can drink. We have tried it all. I have been trying everything to help soften her stools but honestly, I know that as long she remains on this formula she will continue to struggle. Please bring back the original cans!

My breastfed baby started pooping blood a week ago. All of her CMPA symptoms she's had for weeks made sense. I immediately cut out dairy, and went on the hunt for a hypoallergenic formula. I wouldn't feel comfortable if I didn't have a 'backup' formula for supplementing on days needed- and honestly with her new allergy, I'm considering fully switching her to formula. Hundreds spent on American hypoallergenic formulas later, only to have her spit them out and scream. I could not get her to take them, even mixed with my breast milk! I researched for days, and stumbled on this stuff. The reviews about the taste made me so hopeful. I gave it to my baby tonight, and after some hesitation SHE DRANK IT! I cried happy tears. If she has any issues on it, I'll just switch her to the Neocate. Hoping the taste is the same!

Thank you for sharing. We are so happy to hear that Pepticate is working well for your baby!
I wish they could have continued to import the original European formulation. Our baby has been on this new pepticate for several days and has had horrible diarrhea with mucus, can’t stay hydrated. We reverted back to an old can of the original and he was immediately better within a few feeds. There is something about the new formulation that bothers him, he’s a super sensitive baby with confirmed CMPA. We are aware there is always an adjustment period with formula, but his symptoms were too severe for us to continue and now we are stuck trying to find a solution.

We are so glad that your baby is doing well with Pepticate! Thank you for sharing.
Pepticate saved us when we found out our baby had CMPA. We tried multiple US brands first and they were awful! The smell and ingredients in the other brands sent me on a search for a better formula and that is how I found Pepticate! It was gentle on his tummy and filled him up with nutrients and not just fillers disguised as baby formula! Everyone I talk to I now suggest this formula when they mention a milk protein allergy. Being aUK brand seriously helps knowing it goes through more testing than all the US! Thankful we found it

Thank you for sharing your experience with Pepticate. We're so glad to hear it has been helpful for your baby!
Like most reviewers, we figured out one of our twins had CMPA, so we had to switch him to a hydrolyzed formula. Just about every single one on the market has absolute garbage ingredients except for this one, which, of course, is produced in the EU. Of course it's expensive, but I'm just glad to have a nutrient-rich formula that is produced thoughtfully —all our babies deserve that. I haven't found better than Pepticate.

Finally! A formula that works for my baby’s dairy allergy AND tastes good AND doesn’t have questionable ingredients. She has an allergy to the protein casein. So it’s been hard to find a formula that actually works and tastes good. I’ve tried a brand from France and it tasted horrible. Yea I tried it. It had great ingredients. But… and I tried one from Target but it had soy and some other ingredients I didn’t like. It didn’t take long to wean my baby off of breast milk to a bottle of 100% formula. Very relieved.

Our LO was diagnosed with a CMPA and we tried Nutrigamen but she absolutely hated it. Our pediatrician recommended switching to Pepticate and we received a free sample. She took to it right away and after 3 weeks on Pepticate we tested for blood and it came back negative. Grateful for this alternative option. I am receiving a coupon in exchange for writing a review

Our baby loves this formula. It mixes easily and has a pleasant smell unlike many other CMA formulas we have tried. Happy we found this one.
