CMA can also be connected to other allergic conditions such as gastro-oesophageal reflux disease (GORD) or eosinophilic oesophagitis (EoE). You can help ease the unpleasant symptoms caused by these disorders and still give your child all the nutrition it needs by feeding validated hypoallergenic formulas such as amino acid-based formulas.
Please contact your doctor when you think you child may show any symptoms.
Eosinophilic oesophagitis is an allergic condition of the oesophagus and is increasing common. Food allergy is the principal cause of EoE and it often goes hand in hand with gastro-oesophageal reflux disease.
Gastro-oesophageal reflux disease or severe spitting up at any time can be a serious condition in infants and can be due to CMA or othe food allergies. Again amino acid-based formulae can be used to improve the condition.
Children with an allergy to several common food proteins like for example cows' milk, chicken’s eggs and peanuts in addition to soya bean are called multiple food protein intolerant (MFPI).
SBS is a non-allergic abdominal condition where more than 50 % of the small bowel is removed. Amino acid-based formulas might be beneficial to maintain a stable nutritional pattern and to help the abdominal area adapt to the damage.
