For the past month or so (as he's been trying new foods) he's been on-and-off getting these sequences of a day or several where he'll have like 6 mini-poops instead of his usual 1-2, and they're mushy, and they give him nasty diaper rash. We just called in a scrip for an allergy panel, but it looks like he has reactions to dairy, soy, and citrus.
Today he's got the mushy poops going again -- they're tiny, so, say, 3-5 of them is equivalent to one normal one -- and he's got a bit of a rash. The rash is more in his inner thighs than his butt, though, so it could well be he's peeing out something that's irritating him. He may or may not be coming down with a cold, though, and during the cold he had last month he had the poops going too, but that could have been a food reaction as well. VERY CONFUSING.
The day before yesterday he drank a few ounces of juice (he NEVER drinks juice) and the three main ingredients were pear, pineapple, and carrot. He's also eaten a bunch of really ripe pear the past few days (1/2 large pear every day, and it's super ripe). Yesterday he also ate the first meat he's ever had (I cooked him liver to try and increase his iron) but he had the weird poops going on the day before that. Is it likely to be the juice, d'you think, just taking a couple of days on its way out? I seem to remember he's had this reaction to pear before, too, if it was ripe enough and he ate enough of it. Also I've been giving him little bits of Floradix over the past couple of weeks, again for the iron. And he had some tomato sauce yesterday, which usually he won't touch. That's all he's been having that's new.
I'm thinking the pineapple juice and the pear. I dunno. I hate limiting his fruits! But I also hate wiping his butt when it's raw and welty and he's screaming in agony.
Sorry. Long again. Thoughts?
