The Vit D theory is interesting but this problem has been around longer  than 
the push for those drops in early infancy.  What I think is more  significant 
in Valerie's post is how long it takes the gut to heal once an  insult has 
resulted.
My theory is that most of these babies received a bottle in the hospital,  
either knowingly by the parents or the night nurse just helping out.  (I am  
being sarcastic!)
There has been articles on the newborn's gut sensitized to the bovine  
protein through one bottle and then the problem escalates with the mother's diet  
while breastfeeding.  This is why the hydrolyzed formulas work while the  gut is 
healing.  An elimination diet can also work.
I have a question to the pediatric clinicians on the list.  How often  do you 
see bloody stools in formula feed babies?  
Americans definitely eat a high percentage of milk products.  The  dairy 
industry is very big and powerful in the USA.
