Bloody mucus in 5.5m old dirty nappy - allergy?

My 5m old daughter has just done a dirty nappy with bloody mucus in it. I will add pic to a comment on this thread. Looking for opinions on what it could be in relation to an intolerance while I wait for a call back from out of hours gp.

in brief, I have long suspected she has an intolerance to something due to foamy/mucus nappies from about 6 weeks old. In the last 6 weeks eczema too. With drs advice have gone dairy, soy, oat and egg free for two weeks each but nothing changed her nappies. For the last two weeks I’ve been topping up my daughters last bottle of the day (and only bottle - she has one bottle of expressed breast milk a day otherwise breastfed on the boob) with formula - aptimal. The only thing we have noticed in the last week is that when she has the formula bottle she gets a contact rash from the milk immediately - no swelling just red blotches. On Thursday we tried her on baby porridge and almost instantly her face came up in the same rash where the porridge had got.
today she has just done a poo with bloody pink mucus in it. I’m really worried so called 111 and waiting for a gp to call, but does it sound like a reaction to the milk?
when it happened after the porridge reaction I went to my gp yesterday and have been prescribed nutramagen formula so I will stop the aptimal and give her bottle tonight with the hypoallergenic formula.
she doesn’t have any vomiting or reflux, and although she used to be gassy and hiccupy she doesn’t really have either much now.

any one had something similar with their baby?

Sorry I have no medical background but my first thought was, could she be allergic to the silicon teat on her bottle?
Have you tried giving her her milk on a sippy cup rather than from a bottle ? I don’t know if you can be allergic to silicon teats but it’s worth a bump.
