Diarrhea for 10 weeks - allergy help please!

[Watchingthetelly]

DS 15 months has a non ige dairy allergy diagnosed at 6 weeks. Per allergist advice we are also excluding soya from his diet (theory being not to trigger a soya allergy).

Over three months ago we started the dairy ladder and got as far as half a baked muffin before having to stop. I was advised to keep giving malted milk biscuit as he had tolerated it well. However his stools did not go back to normal, they were horrible, stinking, wet mush. I withdrew the biscuit and symptoms still didn't improve. Stool sample checked and all normal. Now waiting for coeliac blood results but they are taking weeks. In the meantime he's been growing well, no bloated stomach, no vomiting, just horrible loose stools. Then at the weekend he got a serious dose of diarrhea, going every hour, literal shit storm. My stress levels are up the wall waiting for the blood results as I'm thinking now that it's either coeliac (which I have) or it's Crohn's .

BUT I just realized that the shit storm diarrhea coincided with him eating a plate of french toast...he doesn't normally eat a lot of egg as he doesn't like it very much. So now I'm hoping non ige egg might be the issue? Anyone had any experience with it please? Does my theory sound feasible?

Pleaey, please, please don't be Crohn's.

Bump, and to say he did have a skin prick test for egg at 6 and 12 months that came back negative. But my understanding is that the skin prick test wouldn't diagnose a non ige allergy, it can only be diagnosed via food exclusion and reintroduction? Plus he could have developed the allergy since then?

French toast with just egg? Or was some milk in the egg mix too?

I'd take good notes of his symptoms with a food diary and share them when you get the celiac results. Try not to stress til then, it won't make your kiddo any better (that's what I remind myself when anxiety overwhelms me).

Also, when my kids were CMPA, it took a good 4-6wks for any dairy contamination symptoms to work through their guts. I figured they were healing.

As an anaphylactic adult, I do feel shady for weeks after a reaction too. So maybe that's all that's up for your child. They might just be recovering from the milk ladder.

Thanks Potato. The wait for the blood test plus the shit storm at the weekend is really sending me over the edge! The French toast was dairy and soya free. Initially I had thought the same about his body healing post exposure but it's been 10 weeks since he had any dairy and the hospital are saying they've never known it to take that long for symptoms to go away. You're right that I need to do a proper food diary.
