6mth Blood in Poo

My 6mth boy has had diarrhoea for about 2 weeks now. Just over a week he has had dark mucus blood in his nappy. He isn't bothered & is really happy. No temp at all. The DR is running tests at the moment but has anyone experienced this with their little ones? He has been formula feed for 2 months. We took him off his normal formula to try soy but then i read heaps of bad things about soy (& he had dark circles around his eye with the soy) so we put him on a hypoallergenic formula (for his eczema). Help! I'm trying not to worry......

Sounds like an intolerance or allergy. My DS used to get mucus - he couldn't handle cow's milk or soya.

Is he on solids? What has he had?

Thanks. We haven't started him on solids yet. He was prem & isn't holding his neck up straight yet. He is nowhere near sitting as well. If it was an intolerance/allergy to cows milk wouldn't it have started when he first was on formula 2 months ago? Also can allergies cause blood? What's the option for formula then....goats milk? I've heard that can cause allergies too.
