"If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I don’t know how my son will survive," Phoebe Carter, whose 5-year-old son suffers from a rare digestive and immune system disease, told Politico on Saturday. "I just can’t stress that enough."

Lets follow the lnk to the other article.

“If this doesn’t get fixed soon, I don’t know how my son will survive,” said Phoebe Carter, whose 5-year old son John — a nature-lover and “paleontologist in training” — has a severe form of Eosinophilic Esophagitis, a rare digestive and immune system disease driven by a dysfunctional immune response to food antigens. “I just can’t stress that enough.”

Ok google Eosinophilic Esophagitis and breast feeding

https://www.jacionline.org/article/S0091-6749(17)32362-X/fulltext#:~:text=The%20breastfeeding%20rate%20in%20our,the%20national%20average%20of%2030.7%25.

Conclusions The breastfeeding rate in our EoE patients was low (55%) compared to the national average of 81.1% of children who are ever breastfed. The breastfeeding rate at 12 months is also low (13%) compared to the national average of 30.7%. While the Food Allergy Practice Parameter recommends the encouragement of breastfeeding for the first 4 to 6 months for prevention of food allergy (Category C), the lower rate of breastfeeding in this small cohort of EoE patients than the general population suggests that we should further explore the impact breastfeeding on the development of EoE.

Sounds like the "formula" is the problem.

I made my sons formula everyday, I would have never fed him that 'formula'
