This concept was quite different than the standard medical hypothesis which generally attributes this condition to the source of the protein (cow’s milk, egg, soy, etc.) or other ingredients in the formula. After having tried several infant formulas with no change in Khalen’s condition, Kevin started mixing Khalen’s formula, substituting hydrolyzed whey protein for the whole milk proteins that were standard in the off-the-shelf infant formulas Khalen had been fed with. After feeding Khalen the hydrolyzed whey formula for just 2 days, Khalen felt significantly better and his diarrhea stopped completely! Khalen was fed this new formula thereafter and his painful digestive problems did not return.
