My daughter has been diagnosed with FPIES after being admitted to hospital so I know how you feel with so many questions, many of which I am still working through. I also have a son who suffered with GERD for 11 months. He was on neocate and I still put it over his cereal at 2 years old as he cannot tolerate milk. We have always used plain Neocate for him and I figured I would stay on that when they offered flavours as I am guessing the flavouring is an addative. I cant see any real need to keep testing dairy every 4 months, my little boy is fine without it. At around 18months I tried yogurt and he started reacting just with eczema and irritability but it still quite bad so I took him off it again before that I never really tried it as I know how horrible it is for them when they are suffering. I can now give him meals that contain a bit of dairy but that is all. I wouldn't even worry about testing especially if you feel against it cause I have now learnt from two children with different challenges that what you feel in your heart as a mum is 99% of time for the best. Hope this helped in some way. Claire
