2 weeks of diahorrea ( spelling!) follow on milk to blame?

[DARCYgirl]

hi ladies, my daughters 14 mnths, finsihed bf 5 wks ago, she had diarreah ( must learn how to spell this ! ) 2 weeks, been 2 doctors twice & waiitng on sample back tmr but shes been on follow on & im guessing it might be this as as soon as shes had it she has the runs ? any experience of similar? thanks? p.s tried goats milk, same result, cows milk seemd to give her tummy ache ???is this temp intolerance, Health Viz said give up the milk but she cries without it ???

Strange as follow on milk contains more iron so if anything I would have thought it would cause constipation. Have you looked at her diet as well? When dd was about this age she had a lot of diarrhoea (sp?) and hv said to keep food diary to see if any pattern. Could also be connected to teething? It does seem a bit of a coincidence that you have recently stop bf though. Hopefully someone else might have some bright ideas!

Do you need to give her milk? She's 14mo, lots of children her age just eat yoghurt and cheese and milk in things like porridge rather than formula or cows milk.

Sorry,(d9gressing here) but I read your post as 2 weeks of Spelling Diarrhoea which struck a cord with me as I have a new job in a medical environment & had to learn that

Diarrhoea

to get the spelling right!!

or the other one: Doesn't It Always Run Really Horribly Over Each Ankle

lol!!! Milliwaysm thats a good one to remember !, thanks guys, yes using a lot of wipes ! will see what happens tmr when call dr's, i do think its her diet, Hunker; HV said same to lay off milk completely, i dont know tried it this morning, she cried till she got milk ( tried water first) stopping bf was bad enough ! Pink teddy, she is teething too but 2 weeks seems long time, i dunno.., thanx a lot for replies xx

DS is 8 months and I am blaming his constipation on the follow on milk!! DD got gastro-enteritis at 14 months (or so) could it be a bug??

suwoo, poss so, dr said 10 days to clear put of system, so seeing what the sample brings up tommorow ( if they have results back ) shes been at a nursery that ive since taken her out of ( a different story ) i dont think their cleanliness was upto much ! poss got it from there

Now is the time to recount a story a friend told me. His mum was a primary school teacher, and you have to rmember many people used to believe the myth you could get all sorts of ailments from being cold or wet. One of her pupil's mothers wrote an apology letter: 'Please excuse Jimmy's absence from school yesterday as he had diarrhoea through a hole in his sock.'

lol!!!
