I was sitting here in tears when I remembered there was an allergy section on MN. I have already posted in health under 'Coeliac disease or over-anxious mother'... anyway...
DS is completely off his food. The last 3 or 4 mornings he has woken up with diarrhoea all the way up his back, poor chap. The childminder mentioned that I should take him to the doctor previous to that because of his frequent smelly loose poos too.
I think it started when he turned one, when he suddenly became clingy, whingey and very cuddly. Looking back I think he may just have been feeling ill all this time. Last week we had a period of about 3 days when he seemed really well (not that I had actually done anything different I think?) but it made me realise how off colour he is the rest of the time.
He is still bf twice a day as dairy seemed to make his excema worse, but he does have some yogs and cheese so it could be a dairy allergy. I'm just so worried. The doc has referred him to a paed. allergist but the appt won't be for at least 6 weeks and I don't know what to do in the meantime...
