Looking for some advice / similar stories/reassurance.
My little boy is 14 weeks old and has had loose stools since he was born going up to 8 times a day. I EBF until November and I introduced 1 bottle of formula. The day after I found blood in his poo. Doctor prescribed aptimil pepti and I cut out all milk and soya (my husband has an epi pen for his allergies to milk and eggs so I have followed a very strict non-diary diet). The blood has continued since November and the doctors kept telling me to ‘wait six weeks.’ I waited the 6 weeks and the blood and loose stools were still happening. He began to develop reflux so I had him weighed and he had lost weight. Doctors finally took me seriously, stool sample was abnormal with high inflammation markers and now referred to dietitian, paediatrics and allergy clinic (awaiting the last two). The dietitian said she isn’t entirely convinced it is allergies and thinks it could be crohns, celiac, ulcerative colitis but my doctor said he’s too young for any of that and could only be his diet?? He’s been on SMA Alfamino for the last two weeks and I’ve cut out egg too and his poo was getting thicker and was only going twice a day but today he had very frothy explosive poo with stringy blood throughout again and I’m just at my wits end worrying all the time. Other than the above he is a smiley, happy, content baby. Is there anyone out there who has gone through something similar? Any advice? I did suggest to the dietitian stopping breast feeding and see if that would help but she said not to stop. Thank you
