Neocate Formula & Constipation
We started our 5 week old on Neocate for a suspected milk allergy based on symptoms and family history. We went from having mucousy blood tinged stools to rock hard pea gravel stools with a very foul sewage type of smell.

Anyone else have this experience? If so, did it resolve itself or did you have to remedy it somehow? We tried the Karo Syrup in water trick, but that's not helping. Our Dr doesn't seem to know what to tell us.

Thank you for any insight.

I agree you may have to use either Miralax or Little Tummies to help with the constipation . Not much you can do for that .
