I'm not a poo troll but I can't work out if my 1 year old has CMPA or other sensitivities or not.
Before solids, she frequently had mucousy vinegar smelling poos and a couple of episodes of blood which led to a suggestion of CMPA from a paediatrician. I cut out all dairy and soy as breastfeeding and was absolutely religious about it for at least six weeks although we didn't really see a difference. At one stage I cut out all top 8 allergens and we added a probiotic and suddenly her poos seemed to settle down, although that also coincided with her eating more and more solids.
She has always though had one explosive nappy or two a week, still solid but loose and slightly acidic. The rest are normal poo smelling poos. I gradually introduced top 8 back into her food and eventually me although I still avoid dairy and soy generally.
It doesn't seem to make a difference what she has and how much, she had some cheese the other day and seemed fine just the usual bad nappy four days later (I know it can be a delayed reaction but that seems very delayed.)
I've tried a food diary and found no obvious correlation. She eats a fair quantity and quite a varied diet and is happy to eat what we have although I reduced fibre a little in case it was irritating her little gut.
Is this just her or should I try ruling things out again? I'm struggling to maintain my own weight and would love to just add dairy back in. Also, I want her to have dairy freely and not become intolerant although she does have a bit at least once a week so I can't see that being a problem.
It's very difficult to actually test for so drs have shrugged too. Maybe just teething?
