I'm breastfeeding exclusively my 3 mo dd and am at my wits end with whether this is an intolerance / allergy or something else.
I had seen improvement after stopping dairy at around 7 weeks but due to a couple of dairy slip ups, and then cutting out soya, I've probably only had one solid 2 week stetch both df and sf
But now since slip up last Thursday where I ate bread and 5 days of her symptoms she had a couple of good days, but has now had another horrible 20 minute hysterical pain cry and poo session, her symptoms are:
- v mucousy sometimes dark green poo (but not since I cut out dairy, only mucous now)
- milk rash earlier on
- nappy rash unresponsive to anything
- 3-4 pain cry sessions with classic colic legs up, hard stomach culminating in explosive poo
- v frequent small poos
Today's cry in has stumped me, this has come out of nowhere. Is it likely for acute symptoms to come and go? I know it takes a whole to get out of your system but this seems out of pattern
I'm wondering if this could be an infection or something instead of intolerance? Though I had cmpa as a baby, so feel like that is most likely explanation,
Seen hv and GP already, been referred to allergist but taking months. As she is gaining weight ok they are not too fussed. In process of arranging phone consultation with dietician with interests in paediatrics, privately
Feel like going to a & e so they can test for infection but no idea if that's even possible helpful or likely..
Ps I have eliminated all dairy and soya, traces etc. perhaps she's allergic to something else as well but can't figure ut out for the life of me. Sorry so long!
