specks of blood??  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
I'm having a hard time with my 8 week old
She's had stomach issues since she was 2 weeks old, I took dairy, then soy, then egg, then nuts and finally wheat from my diet and things have gotten better. I tried eggs last week to make sure they were a problem (HOPING they weren't) and she didn't get fussy but did get a diaper rash, so I stopped that. I found out wheat was BAD when I was switching to just WHEAT bread because of the soy/dairy thing and that was really bad not just a rash but screaming in pain...... a few days ago I was thinking maybe dairy isn't the problem after all the problem was wheat all along... maybe I should try dairy again. I was thinking this in part because I got Mastitis from block nursing which did help her foamy green poop go to normal, and anyways I had to get on meds and I was worried about getting a yeast infection. So I made homemade yogurt and had it sunday night and then monday morning. Today (Tuesday) she is HORRIBLE crying and has specks of blood in her poop. Do you think this is from the dairy or something else? THanks....

My guess is that yes, it's the dairy. Some babies can handle dairy in mom's diet from yogurt, in small amounts, other babies can't. I feel for you with all the restrictions. What a nice mama. Sue
