Who wants to talk about green smelly poo?

Hi everyone, my 19 week old DS has had runny, green, very smelly poos since he was about 4 weeks old. He is often irritable and usually cries in pain before he fills his nappy. I changed his milk from C&G to Aptamil Easy Digest before Xmas and have been using Colief lactase drops for about 2 weeks but neither have made any difference. I've spoken with HV who says it's colic - but that's what she said before he was given treatment for silent reflux!! So I've not got much faith in her. I'm going back to GP but as she's already done a test on stool sample that came back ok I'm not sure what more she'll do to help. Can anyone offer any advice? Also DS has developed dry skin on arms and is now spreading to trunk and legs so I've done some research on milk protein intolerance and allergy and I'm considering trying soya milk but I'm reluctant to before getting some advice from people in the know. TIA

I can't help but am in similar situation with 24 wk old BF DS and a week into dairy-free diet ... still green this morning

soya milk can cause a reaction aswell because of the protein. best to see GP before changing as ds may need other supplements. Check allergy threads also.
