Nebraska. We could try a phone consult, but it is highly preferable to be
able to examine the baby.

The GI doc is correct, in that any proteins a mom is ingesting can cause a
problem. BUT he is wrong that elemental formula always fixes the problem.
 Corn syrup is the sugar source,  so kids who have a problem with corn do
not improve.  In fact, I have had a few kids who are NOT reacting to dairy
and are needing supplementation get happy going "backwards" to Similac
Advance, because it does not contain corn. Enfamil Lipil does not contain
corn syrup solids, but does contain a presumably small amount of dextrates
(derived from corn) as a "prebiotic".

I do not see many of these babies actually lose weight.  I would be very
concerned about eosinophilic esophagitis, which is diagnosed by endoscopy.
