I thought that both of these formulas were derived from dairy...I
wouldn't follow a doctors advice that says it will have no affects
because I had a paed. tell me (that was supposed to be an allergy
specialist) to go ahead and give milk to an anaphylactic child that
showed neg. on a test due to doctor error and that casein was nothing to
worry about???

If you can find the formula called Nursoy it is completely milk free and
is soy based and doesn't constipate them either.
