I am just catching up on my e-mail so have just read this line  of history. 
 
I do not have any medical advice but I would like to offer  some practical 
advice.
 
My son Nicholas was diagnosed with gastroenteritis at age 6  weeks. After 
much mismanagement of pumping leading to stitches in my breast and  areola I 
wanted to give up BF. Thanks to a with it pediatrician, I continued  with BF using 
a supplement system to keep him at the breast that was not  injured, while 
still getting the thickened EBM and then yes unfortunately  formula. However, 
this did keep him at the breast, bypassing the problems we  were seeing due to 
the bottles. He did eventually go back to 'just' the breast  and continued to 
nurse until age 4. The supplementing system also helped to  keep his feedings 
within my 'control' so that the hospital staff could not just  whisk him away. 
This helped to reduce the stress on all of us and not  surprisingly he started 
to keep more down as his feeding processes were calmed  down. I hope this 
small experience might be  helpful.   
 
Peace,

Maggie Payne
