It can take several weeks to eliminate cow and soy protein (if you eat beef you will want to stop that too). And there are so many hidden sources as well - do you have a list of those too? There are several mamas here who are dairy and soy free who I'm sure will post it if you don't.

I think I remember reading that over active let down can also cause problems with blood in baby's stool, so working on that may help as well.

And seeing baby's doc asap!

Hang in there!

Overactive letdown would not be my first thought here. Blood in the stool signals an injury to the intestine. Overactive letdown often leads to too much lactose, but the usual symptoms of that are green, frothy stools, not blood. Sometimes the cause of blood is fairly innocuous, but sometimes it's not, and it's worth taking very seriously.
I sure hope you find out what's going on here soon, and that it turns out it's no big deal. I was so worried when my DS was having bloody diapers, so I can imagine that you must be so anxious.- PatioGardener

good point, Llyra. my thinking was more on the lines that oald might make the symptoms of an already existing milk/soy sensitivity worse.(but I can't remember where i got that notion, and with a teething 10 month old my sleep/memory is not what it could be!)
Â
I also agree that more blood after cutting out foods is alarming, and worth an urgent trip to the ped.
Other big offenders to consider are eggs and gluten. You could also keep a food diary for you and if you're not seeing blood with every stool, maybe you can make some connections with what you're eating that might be the cause.
