Does this mean it's not CMPA?! I'm at a loss!!

My 12 week old has suspected CMPA, I’ve been 9 days without dairy and he seemed better for a few days. The last two days he’s rashy again and has foul smelling diarrhoea with lots of mucus in with every feed again. I’ve cut of dairy soya and eggs. I know it can take a few weeks for all traces to leave his system but does this indicate a new flare up/reaction? Is it possibly something different entirely? I don’t see how it it was cmpa he’d be better for a few days then get worse again despite me eating no allergens?!

My daughter has CMPA and it took around 6 weeks of me being dairy free before she stopped having symptoms! So I would say continue being dairy free for a bit longer, but would defo see your GP if symptoms persist so that you can be referred to have a skin prick test to see if there's any other allergies (if he hasn't already had one done).

My cmpa baby also reacts when I have legumes (lentils, peas, chickpeas, peanuts etc) as they are a similar protein shape to soy - which is also similar to milk. I only found out as because I had cut dairy I had increased my legume intake to make up for it (lentil curry and soup, peanut butter on toast etc) so might be worth considering. Also it can take 6 weeks to completely clear dairy and soy from your milk apprently so keep persevering

I would maintain soya dairy and egg free and keep a food diary. It can take 72 hours to react so factor that into the diary. If symptoms are constant then it's likely to be another allergy to something you eat pretty regularly.

No chance you could have ingested something with one in and just not realised? Soya is in so much stuff. It could also be he's reacted to something else you've eaten that he's also allergic too. Mustard? Nuts?
