no there is not but you can ask your doctor to write you a prescription and have it be paid for through your insurance. Get help with wic, ask your dr. for samples and finally call the manufacture for samples. We had nutramigen and we got it paid for through our insurance. We got 20 cans a month and only paid a 15.00 copay. hope this helps.

They said that my baby was allergic to the protein in cows milk and wanted me to feed her Nutramigen. She also suffered from acid reflux. I found that the Nutramigen only aggravated it b/c it was so watery that it came back up the throat easier. She was constantly spitting that crap up. I decided to try soy. We use Similac Isomil Advance. The doctor said that we could give it a try, but that a lot of times babies that are allergic to milk protein are also allergic to soy. We have not had any problems. She likes the soy just fine and has for five months. Good luck! Give it a try.
