Are any hypo-allergenic formulas available over the counter in England?

I'm an expat and we are going back to England for a holiday in July for a month.

One of my twins is on a hypo allergenic formula, because he has reflux and although there is no confirmed cow's milk protein intolerance, I put him on it myself just to try and make sure I was covering all options before he went on medication.

I'm just wondering what, if any, will be available in England? A month's worth of formula is a lot to bring with us!

He will be 7 months old by then, do you think it's worth trying him on an anti reflux formula such as Aptamil AR before we go just to see if that works? Or is it too risky to make the switch?

you can get neocate and nutrimagen eg from amazon, but they are expensive...

Where are you going to. My local chemist sells nutramigen! I'm west London

The Cotswolds, but will be travelling around a fair bit (not London though).
