Hi there. ((hugs)), those 10 months must have been very challenging. Glad to hear you got it figured out though.
My DD1 didn't have MSPI, but I did avoid obvious dairy and gassy foods for the first few weeks just a precaution (I'd heard dairy could be harder for the babies to digest) and then for a few months because she had a very sensitive stomach. DD2 WAS MSPI (among many many other things food allergy wise). I started out the same - just avoiding obvious dairy and very gassy foods, simply because I am a huge worrier, lol. Personally, I'm glad I did because trace dairy, through my BM, was a nightmare for her. I knew at 3 weeks old that she was intolerant. However, I do know others who just go for it and see what happens. I tend to be a little more cautious, it's just my nature.
I don't think it's strange to think about at all. If I ever had a 3rd I would wonder as well!
I don't believe there are any links to siblings, but I'm not sure. The good news is that you know what to look for, what to do, you will be MUCH more confident and in control and it will be a completely different experience - whether bub #2 is MSPI or not.
