Can Intake Of Soy Formula Cause Stomach Disorders?
12 week old daughter only having stomach issues at night. Determined she has a milk allergy at 7 weeks, has been on soy formula since. Unsure if she may have an allergy to soy as well given her tummy issues. Like clockwork between 5-6pm she will start crying in pain, sometimes she has gas but not all the time. Any suggestions or advice on what could be causing this would be great. Thank you

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
The symptoms of stomach related issues in your daughter suggest me that there is some problem with the feeding habit.
If your daughter is allergic to milk or lactose intlorence which should be confirmed by the lab investigations. If she is allergic to breast milk the symptoms should be present all the time when she was fed breast milk. Breast milk is the best food for the infants upto 6 months.
As you are giving her the soy formulas, your child gut may not be used for this formula that is the reason why your daughter is having these problems. Slowly you need to give the soya formula to your daughter along with other liquid diet.
I would suggest you to take your child to the pediatrician to assess the condition and suggest a proper remedy for your child.
Thank you.
