MSPI Baby--Delay b/t consumption of milk/effect on baby?

[Peek-a-boo]

DD had a weird poop this morning (Tuesday)--large, green and sort of mucosy.  I may have accidently had a small amount of dairy on Sunday afternoon.  Does the time lapse seem like to much to attribute the poop to the accidental dairy?  Should I be looking for another cause or could it be that consumption on Sunday afternoon?

Hey Bethany:

Do you think there is anything else that could have caused it?  Since you think you did consume some dairy, I think it would be safe to say it was that.

It could take 48 hours for her body to have an affect from it.  Some lo's have a delayed reaction to milk, which is why it is so hard to figure out sometimes.

If you really did not do anything else major, I would say it was that.

Thanks Wendy--I really can't think of anything else unusual I've eaten.  Sunday I had some food at a potluck without looking carefully into the ingredients.  I went off milk before having any real concrete evidence of an intolerance from her, but DS had one and she was starting to be gassy/fussy etc like he was.  So, this is sort of nice I guess--makes me feel validated that going off milk really is a good thing for her.

At least now you don't have to wonder if you could have milk. 

Both of my lo's were MSPI.

Hope things get better!

Thomas's turnaournd time for an offending food is 4 days.  Why?  I do not know, but once he has pooped twice in the 4 day span (any offending foods cause a major backup) he is good to go.  The first is always sticky and dark green and then he may go 2-3 more times runny and then he is regular again.  My husband swears it is too long, but with my handy dandy food diary I came to this conclusion every time.  I think his motility is unsually slow, but that may be the case for your little one too.
