11 month old has lost weight and is always gassy/fussy!

[Athora80]

I am a proud mama of an 11 month old boy who was ebf until 7 months, not vaxxed or circed. We co sleep and practice attachment parenting. He is generally a happy baby although I have noticed when I weighed him a few months ago he was around 20 pounds and now he's under 18. He has just started to really walk and was wondering if the extra exercise has something to do with it? Is this normal or should I be concerned? I should note that we were staying with the in laws for 2 months and I am using a different scale, not sure if that matters.

I should also note that in the last 5 months I have been suffering from Gastritis and reflux, it got to the point where my esophagus was so inflamed my food was getting stuck. This caused me to change my diet and I don't think I have been eating as much since all this started. I am beginning to think it has affected the content or amount of my milk supply. I am still producing milk but perhaps not as much as before? My son gets solids 3 times a day (whole bananas, avocados, cooked carrots, little pieces of chicken, beans, egg yolk, etc). He poops more than 3 times a day and his has many wet diapers so I feel that's a good sign. But he has been gassy/fussy since birth, we always call him an angry pooper because he would always get really angry before he had to poop or pass gas. But it seems lately (maybe paired with teething) that he is ALWAYS gassy or will be really upset up to an hour before he poops (and if he poops 4 times a day you can imagine how often he is not happy). But other than that he is just gassy and fussy because of it. I am thinking he has allergies? I myself have a milk allergy but I still eat it once in a while. I gave up soy but I don't know what to do about this. I think he is too young for accurate allergy tests.

Does this sound normal? Did your children lose a bit of weight when they were more mobile?

My kids never lost weight but one was a very slow gainer.  I would take him off all dairy and grains, including in your diet and see how that goes.

Different home scales can be wildly inaccurate for weighing a baby, so I wouldn't worry about that.

That said, if he is still having that much trouble pooping and passing gas, I think a dairy elimination would be a good idea, and maybe cut back on the solids a bit until his digestive system is a little less troubled.
