TMI: Toddler Allergy Poop?

[Amy0417]

This is going to be a TMI thread but I need some input from allergy familiar mamas.  Right now I'm doing a milk elimination diet for my DD.  There have three "accidents" where she ingested some dairy.  Three days ago Gramma gave her ranch dressing w/o realizing it was dairy and at school yesterday she had oreos (I didn't now it was a special treat day) and then later at her other gramma's house she had some Annies Grahm cookies (Im thinking those are made with dairy.. not sure).  Anyways, I hope that didn't mess up the diet too much.

On to the poop... She's always had soft poops.  they are formed but are the consistency of chocolate mouse .  I've asked her doctor continually about it but he says "It's normal".  I don't think it's normal.  It's also yellow-ish in color and seems to have a white film over it (sry this is getting way TMI).  Today I noticed she pooped out an undigested almond .

I just want some opinions on poop (haha).  Her poop has always been like this but now that I am really considering food intolerances I've realized that maybe her poop isn't normal.  We haven't being bfing for over a year so she really does not have a reason to have soft poop.  Also, she hasn't had a lot of fruit in the last few days.  Actually, barely any fruit because we are out.

Not much help on the poop front but oreo's are dairy free :)

I would try a probiotic.  My DS never had a normal poop till we started him on them about 3 months ago. A serious life changer for him!  We use Custom Probiotics (they are dairy free) and if you email them, they'll send you a sample so you can see if they help.

Hey Thanks  for this!  I will definitely check out probiotics for her.  She just recently had antibiotics for the first time.  She's 3.5.  BUT I have had a lot of yeast problems that I'm trying to resolve so she must have some yeast issues too. 

I had no clue about oreos being dairy free!  That just made my night.  I never buy oreos but do love the "oreos" from TJs.  Maybe they are dairy free too!

Lorna Doone are also dairy/egg free ;)  Ask a Mom who has been nursing 2 food allergic kids for almost 4 years :) lol  

(PS That was last time I checked.  As always, you need to double check to be sure they haven't changed something!)

oooh yummy!  definitely buying those!   I feel so bad for DD... so many things have to be cut out that you'd never think of as "dairy".
