Unfortunately, I have, and it seems to be because what started out as a 
simple dairy allergy spiralled into a shredded gut that couldn't 
tolerate anything.   In that case, what worked was a week on a true 
elemental formula, which was hard because it involved an unhappy baby 
who wanted to nurse and a mom who had to invest a lot of time and 
effort into protecting her milk supply as well as paring down her diet.

Moms need to be helped *gently* to understand that hoping it will go 
away doesn't work and can have serious consequences beyond a few weeks 
or months of inconvenience.  The quicker this kind of issue gets 
resolved, the better for everyone.

Off my zebra-striped soapbox :)
