EleCare Jr Amino Acid Based Medical Food

I didn’t realize that this formula contains aspartame until I got the can in front of me. The unflavored infant version of Elecare does not. It’s so upsetting that companies and the FDA think that it is okay to put aspartame in baby formula. There are other elemental formulas out there that don’t have aspartame. Please read the ingredients. Puramino has MSG as the 3rd ingredient. Mind blowing.

I actually really like this stuff. I have a lot of food intolerances, including severe histamine intolerance and a dairy allergy. Sometimes my body just needs a break from food, and I’ll actually crave this. I mix and drink it out of a camelback bottle, which I think helps to get past the vitamin smell, and I use 4 scoops (in a child sized camelback bottle) rather than the recommended 6 to avoid the bitterness. Give it a shot. Maybe you’ll be surprised.

Though my daughter did seem to like this formula, and it didn't upset her stomach like some do(she has a milk protein sensitivity), I was disappointed to find that this has aspartame in it. I'd rather give her real sugar that aspartame. I just don't understand why they would use it in a toddler formula.

My son reacted to this formula, where he doesn't to the unflavored infant kind. I compared all the ingredients, & found several things that were questionable to me, such as aspartame.

Daughter is tube fed. Great for weight gaining for little heart babies
