tips for persuading GP to prescribe Nanny formula please

[issywoo]

my ds is 14 weeks and has hidden reflux, he was expressed breastfed up until about 11 weeks (his tongue tie was a large factor in the breastfeeding coming to a premature end) and he was very comfortable on it but when i had to move to formula (and gaviscon)he was constipated on sma and generally uncomfortable and very snotty and uncomforatble on aptimil so i have tried him on nanny and he is much more comfortable (no more lurching) and his mucous has disappeared. the only problem is its costing me £7.95 every 2 days! whats the best way of handling my GP so he feels inclined to prescribe it? i think i already have a bit of a reputation in the surgery of being a bit of a know it all.........

But what are the probiotics in, gloworm? They have to be in something, in order to be packaged, transported, stored and administered.

That's what I was concerned about.

i'm trying to find out more about this from the manufacturers. on all package and retailer information packs in Uk, it states quite clearly that no excipients are used. However on the american websites they appear to have extra ingredients. its quite possible that they make similar but diferent products for europe and US markets? will post as soon as i find an answer.

also, totally agree with you that any unnecessary ingredients could not be given to baby!

also on another point, i usually only add bacteria to one bottle per day, not all of them
