Heading to GP about this but have already been palmed off and dismissed before and today on the phone the GP actually said to me "well, what do you want done about it..." so looking for some guidance and support.
My 5.5m old has never had a solid poop - ever. Occasionally it is paste texture but 95% of the time its coloured water. Ranging from bright green to yellow/light bright to (just recently) maroon.
Was very colicy when first born and actually struggled to poop even though it was just water...so was on Aptamil Comfort milk pretty much from the start. Then gaviscon and omeprazole as started being sick after every feed and screaming more than not.
Seemed to settle after the indroduction of the meds in terms of the discomfort however the poops remained loose and stinky. Then got to the point where every nappy change was a dirty one and most were blow outs so GP suggested trying a milk free formula.
This was 5 weeks ago. The dirty nappy frequency reduced to two or three a day but every one is a blow out watery one. DC is extremely gassy too - I can hear the nappy being filled from another room with the gas and watery sounds. Sometimes when we change DC there is streaks like they've tried to poop but couldn't, or poop water has just leaked out. Then yesterday there was a streak but it was maroon like old blood. It was maybe about the size/amount of a 50p. Had five dirty nappies yesterday none with this maroon colour, all water and all green. Also passed undigested food (gets veggies to chew on in baby led weaning and for teething)
I'm at a loss as to what to do now as GP all seems to think this is normal? One of my older children had food allergies as a baby and had similar issues but not to this extreme so my gut is telling me something is going on.
Baby is gaining weight fine which is another reason GP isn't that concerned but baby is nearly always hungry and is draining 8-9oz bottles every 2.5-3hrs. No hard tummy, and no signs of being tender etc.
With the GP now saying to me "what do you want done about it.." and " what is it you think it is?" I feel a bit like I'm being over dramatic in wanting this investigated?
Has anyones little ones had similar? What was the cause and outcome? I'd like to go to the GP armed with information.
