neocate - flavouring or gradual weaning?

DS 15 wks has been prescribed neocate due to suspected milk intolerance. Surprise surprise, he utterly hates it.

Paed has suggested gradually weaning him onto it by upping the ratio of neocate to aptamil every 3 days, longer intervals if he is not liking it. I am not convinced this will work as i don't think the problem is habit but rather the disgusting taste which surely he is instinctively likely to want to avoid as it is bitter and metallic. I raised the issue of flavouring with the paed and he said he wasn't keen on that approach...

Has anyone got similar experience they could share?

Stopped BF at 5 weeks owing to health issues and can't do relactation this time around - which I did with DD1 :(

I know nothing about this - but I shall ask if anyone has spoken to anyone and report back.

Ok so have found out that one of our sales folk talked to this company today. They requested to answer questions directly asked about Neocate on our talkboards. Sales person said that she'd put the request through to me, which she now has.
Our policy on formula companies hasn't changed.

No - they posted before they spoke to us.
