Worth every penny!
Our now 3 month old is so sensitive to dairy that even Alimentum cases severe stomach upsets where she gets bloody diapers and just screams and cries all the time. Plus she hated the taste of that and the enfamil version of the same stuff. So the GI doctor told us to try an amino acid based formula and I decided to try Puramino.She has had some serious issues while breastfeeding too because she is sensitive to multiple proteins that I eat so she was also really underweight. The plan was to give her formula for a few weeks while I change my diet to avoid all of the allergens (dairy, soy, wheat, nuts, and eggs). We already knew dairy and soy would cause bloody diapers and upsets, but even after 5 weeks of avoiding those she still had an occasional diaper with blood in it, and she was still having a hard time sleeping and crying all the time. So the GI doctor recommended cutting all these things out of my diet and trying to breastfeed again, then figure out what else bothers her. So we got some Puramino formula to give her in the meantime.Seriously, this stuff is awesome! With every other formula we tried, she fought and cried and didn’t like the taste so it was hard to get her to eat it. The first time she had Puramino, she drank it with no problems. And actually she drank so much of it that she gained a while pound in a week! That was a HUGE praise for us because she had been having such a hard time until then that for the first two months of her life we were in and out of doctor’s offices and the ER, and nothing seemed to be helping her.For the first week she was not gassy, fussy, no reflux, spitting up, no bloody diapers, or anything. She smiled and played and slept; I mean she was just a totally different baby! After about a week she did start spitting up sometimes and she does sometimes get actual reflux, but she did (and does) while breastfeeding too.So I would recommend this stuff to anyone who has a baby with a sensitive tummy. It is definitely expensive, but it is worth it. And if it’s a long-term solution, some insurance companies will help pay for it. This 4 pack on Amazon has been the cheapest way of buying it that we’ve found.We are back to breastfeeding now, but since she was eating so much more while I was giving her formula, I am still supplementing with Puramino when she is still hungry and we run out of breastmilk. I am SO thankful that this stuff even exists because we didn’t know what else to do for our poor girl. But avoiding all of those allergens has also helped her tremendously. FINALLY, I have been able to nurse her without her tummy getting upset. And I have the Puramino to help with weight gain.

Life Saving Formula
I have twins, 3 months old. When I was in the hospital one was in the room with me and the other in the NICU, my milk had not come in and attempting to nurse was terrible and extremely painful. Because the babies were premies with complications we qualified for donor breast milk, which we did while we were in the hospital. I knew that I would have to supplement my babies for a while, or flat out formula feed, after discussing with the pediatrician a formula I felt good enough to give my babies, we decided on Nutramigen… I have a severe cows milk allergy and it took 20 years to diagnose, I was afraid my children would have the same allergy, although the doctor said most likely not; either way, I wanted them on a hypoallergenic formula. My girl was having a lot of blood in her stool, so the doctor recommended I go off dairy completely or stop nursing – like I said, I have a dairy allergy, so I was already off of it – she assumed I was mistakenly eating it – but I refused to stop nursing her, so I stopped giving her Nutramigen and within a week her bloody stools stopped! My son had major issues… he would cry in pain for upwards of 15 hours a day and would have a horrible time eating, he was on formula only. The doctors all said “colic” and to try colic drops/gas drops/probiotics… I did, I tried everything under the moon and nothing worked. As time went on I grew increasingly angry at the “colic” label…I knew something was wrong. I would nurse but what little I was making was going to his sister because she “needed” it more. And then it happened…blood in his stool. I didn’t even know where to begin to look for a different formula but Amazon came through. I found PurAmino and ordered it overnight shipping and started it the next day… within 24hours I noticed a complete difference in my son. First, he went from 15 plus hours of crying to 8 hours or less, and I noticed his coloring changed (not so white). Over the course of a week he was a completely different kid and his crying reduced to 2-3hrs a day (he still gets bad gas). To top it off, my daughter takes the formula with no issues as well. Downside, my insurance refuses to cover formula…it is a very pricey formula but worth every penny!
