my dd has just started on nutrimagen as she got eczema with normal dairy formulas. her eczema has flared up very quickly after starting this. is it possible for her to be allergic to this too? if so, does anyone know what she's allergic to exactly? she's 7 months and almost exclusively breast fed and has no reaction to soya formula.

Yes completely possible - it's still made from cow's milk. You need her to be put on Neocate which is even more broken down - it's the creme de la creme of hypoallergenic formulas and rarely prescribed because it costs around £5000 a year. If you mention the name you should get it.

Apparently it's worse but I've never tasted it! You can also get it in banana flavour I think!

agree, try asking for neocate. You can get dairy free probiotics and they are worth trying to see if they can help the eczema. Its probably cows milk protein and she'll hopefully grow out of it by age 3.
