How long for CMPA symptoms to go

We started weaning LO 2 weeks ago with baby porridge. She was constipated for a couple days and since then had very wet, green, mucusy poos daily. At the same time she also became covered in what looks like eczema, which she's not had before.

My initial instinct was it was a reaction to the milk in the porridge, so stopped giving her that about a week ago - but the poos & rash are still there.

Is it likely that it's still the milk leaving her system? Or was it just coincidence?

I was told it can take around two weeks for the milk to fully leave their system. With my DD it improved after a few days of being dairy free again and then continued to improve following that.
Is your little one on any formula? Or are you breastfeeding?
Definitely worth a chat to the GP to get some guidance from dieticians about where to go from here and when/how you retry dairy.
