My 2 year old was diagnosed with CMPA at a few months old. We have attempted the dairy ladder a few times, last time was 2 months ago. When we got to fresh cheese, he started getting blood in his bowel movements again. We stopped the dairy but he then immediately also accidentally had some soy products which we know also cause a reaction in him.
He has been totally dairy and soy free for almost 5 weeks but the bloody poos haven't stopped. It's several times a day. Just small amounts of fresh bright red blood.
GP wouldn't see us until we are dairy free for 6 weeks but in the past when the dairy stopped, the bloody poos stopped within 2-3 days. I know it takes 6 weeks for dairy to completely leave your system but his symptoms have always previously improved within days!
Anyone else gone through this?
The length of time makes no sense as he is ok with baked dairy, has been ok with it since 12 months. So his CMPA is not even that bad, we should be on the right track.
Could it be something else?
No other symptoms. No fussiness etc. Weight gain is ok.
