New allergy?

[countryduck]

Well my son is anaphylatic to milk/dairy and hasn't only had minimal amounts of soy th rough my breastmilk until a few days ago. I bought some chocolate soy milk and he wanted to try it. He loved it and since then has had small amounts of it throughout the day. Last night when he had a bowel movement it was really different than any other before. The smell was funny and the color and texture were off too. Also, his scrotum was extremely red and irritated. He was crying because it hurt to clean the poop off. We put him in the tub and let him play around for a while and then lightly washed him with a mild soap. Before putting on his nightime diaper I put a few drops of lavender essential oil directly on his scrotum. This morning it looks much better and doesn't appear to hurt near as bad. So anyway, do you think this is related to the soy? Could he be getting another allergy?

Any input is appreciated! Thank you!

Don't know if this will help you, but we had an extreme reaction to chocolate Silk soy milk. The rest of the soy milks are fine for us, but we do better with unsweetened.

Thanks for replying. This was indeed Silk Chocolate Soy Milk. I just changed another bowel movement and it had the same texture and smell and a little mucous too.

I just realized I forgot to mention that he is 25.5 months old - in case anyone was wondering.

it could be the chocolate or the soy. You could try him on each and see what happens. Or just cut out both for the time being.
