Hello,
I'm at a bit of a loss now. Any advice appreciated while I wait on peads referral.
My DD, who's now 2 and 9 months, has CMPA which was diagnosed at 3 weeks old. Milk ladders have been unsuccessful and now paused for the foreseeable due to other issues.
She eats like a teenage boy. And by that, I mean she eats twice what I do in a day and is constantly insatiable. She'll easily clear her plate and the remainder of mine.
She's weighing in at 12kg and seems mostly happy and healthy (bar every nursery bug going).
However. She has consistent diarrhea. Sometimes purely watery with 15+ episodes a day.
Sometimes just the 2-4 episodes of very loose stool, but not watery.
On occasion she has blood in it.
Her eczema is constantly flared up despite no milk exposure.
She's constantly bloated (think looking 8 months pregnant bloating!) And her poor bum goes immediately blistered, sore and red if she has an accident. She also complained of stomach pain before each movement so it isn't your typical toddler diarrhea which supposedly causes no pain. Sometimes her accidents are because she crouches down with cramps and can't get up and to the loo on time.
GP has referred to peads due to the fact it's been ongoing for months and months now. (In fact, well over a year) querying some sort of IBD.
They suggested cutting gluten out of her diet but the dieticians were dead against that.
She's on probiotics daily and has been for some time now, at dietician request.
Her diet mainly consists of eggs, white bread/rice/pasta on the advice of dieticians to avoid any brown versions or things like weetabix etc.
If I ate half the amount of eggs etc that she does, I'd never poo again!
And yet, the diarrhea, with occasional blood, continues.
Anyone, any suggestions at all, please. I'm at my wits end and she's really suffering. I feel like I should be doing something!
