Allergic to Alimentum?

It appears that my four-week old is allergic to hypoallergenic formula. She has been on Alimentum for almost a week and still has bloody stools with mucous, that actually went away when we initially changed formula but returned today, and puffy eyes with red splotches underneath them. The poor thing is miserable.

Anyone know what's next? I think we've run full circle through Similac, I think - Advanced, Sensitive, Alimentum.

Update:

Have to add that I'm so frustrated I want to cry. Every food works for a week.

    My first son was put on Alimentum and did just fine. However, my second son had a hard time with it. The doctor switched him to Enfamil Nutramigen and he did really well with it. Both of my boys had allergies and asthma as babies, so I was at the doctor a lot. It's very frustrating when all you want to do it help your baby and you can't find the solution.

    **Please be sure to take care of yourself, make time for rest and eat well, so that you can be the best to take care of your new baby girl. Hope it works out for you!
