Is pancrease (or Ultrase) a prescription product? I am not familiar with
it, but what you write is most interesting. I have clients whose babies do
"better" on predigested abm than on mother's milk and it is most
distressing. Mothers, understandably, feel that they are making their
babies sick.
Along these same lines, I have vegan mothers who have to eat all of the
"gas producing" vegetables and their babies are less bothered with painful
gas if mother uses "Beano" drops. It makes NO sense, but it works for
almost all of them.
