Children's MAGIC
The Children's Milk Allergy and Gastrointestinal Coalition (MAGIC) was created to promote health care coverage and reimbursement of amino acid-based elemental formulas for children who are unable to consume a natural, life-sustaining diet due to various allergies or diseases, such as eosinophilic disorders. When children are denied these medically necessary foods, they frequently turn to hospitals and emergency rooms and incur staggering medical bills.
To address this crisis, a coalition was created and named Children's MAGIC -- composed of parents, advocacy organizations, health institutions, business groups and like-minded individuals.
The Children's MAGIC web site offers information on some of the conditions and diseases where children require special formula, as well as information on states with elemental formula legislation.
