Please can someone help me with some allergy questions?
My DS is 20 months, BF until 14 months, weaned onto solids at 6 months.
We noticed when weaning a rash on his face and some dry patches on his skin, we were told he would soon grow out of it and it was due to time of year (heating on, new foods etc) During this time he was having cows milk with porridge etc.
Once he came off the breast, we noticed that his poos were getting bigger and he was completely emptying his bowels they had lots of undigested food. This however coincided with what we later found out to be was a strain of rotavirus and was advised by the doctor to take him off lactose as he may have had an intolerance due to the bug.
As we introduced milk back into his diet we noticed the foul smelling poos return, we were told his gut could take a while to heal so to take him off milk for a further month. this process happened again and I got a referral to the dietician who has now said it’s likely a dairy allergy and to stay off for another 6 months.
does anyone have any knowledge of mild cmpa? I’m not dismissing what the dietician has suggested but at present the only factor is sloppy poos. DS eats well, sleeps well and never seems to be in any pain with his tummy so just wondered whether we are overthinking? I hate not being able to give him whole milk and full fat yoghurt. Hes never had reflux and is growing well. It’s been two weeks and there’s not been a huge difference to his poo?
