Dr's appt with Ped is on Friday.

I'm still wary that it's viral....only reason being--there's no fever involved, and his appetite is as big as usual.  I'm curious to see what the Dr. will say, I'm stumped anyway.

Also, DD had milk and soy intolerances as a baby so I've been through this once before and his symptoms are pretty similar.  But you never know.  Hopefully we see some sort of improvement or else the Ped can shed some light on this.

Could you stop all formula for a day or so and just offer Pedialyte so he does not get dehydrated?

Just a thought.

I would see if the doctor could do a stool sample or take his blood to see what his blood count is, etc. 

Please keep us posted and always go with your gut!!!

Ah, poor baby.  Bum rashes are terrible.   I hope he feels better soon.

Well we're on day 3 of full Alimentum, his BM's are now dark brown and pasty--is this normal?!  It's definately much better than before, and he's only having 1-2 BM's/day which is more like his "normal" schedule.  Bum rash is almost gone.

We see the Ped this aft so we'll see what she has to say.  Thanks!

Sounds normal to me.  I am glad he is now taking full Alimentum. 

Post after you see the Ped.

Okay!

Ped's first reaction was that it was a stomach bug and wants to remain optimistic that that's all it was.  She suggested I keep DS on the Alimentum for another week and then introduce the Enfamil Soy (which he was previously on) again and see if there is reaction, then go from there.  He's lost a bit of weight, is only in the 25th percentile for weight for his age which kindof concerns me but he's also very active, she said it wasn't anything to worry about.

So, for now we'll use up the Alimentum, and give the soy a try again next week.

I feel better...I just hope he doesn't have the allergy and that it was a bug.

Hope it was a bug, too.  Glad he is feeling better, and you are relieved. 
Hugs and have a good night!

Sounds like a good plan!  I hope it was just a bug too.  Let us know how it goes.

Great!  So he poops are back to normal now, right?  So then when you re-introduce the Soy formula, you will know if it was that or not.

Thanks for checking ;D

Well we're back on the Enfamil Soy, have been for about a week and he's doing alright. The bum rash is gone, but his BM's still aren't completely "normal" but are definately much improved.  Overall I'm not as concerned as I was. 

I'm going to wait another few weeks, and see how he does, and will take him in if this starts up again or if something goes wierd again.

TTYS!
