HI Vikki, thanks for that input.
Never had blood in the stool, just always runny poops from birth and then we had about 1 month of watery and mucus poops, constantly being sent home from nursery. Harry also has reflux, previously managed by ranitadine and flared up frequently but then settled again. Ive now taken him off the ranitidne as he seems so much more settled since we cut the dairy, soy and egg (well we didn't do so much egg anyway and not too much soy either but dietitan thinks we should start with full elimination and I do agree).
I think you are right, I'll try the soy first in a months time, although I'm not sure if that would mean he was milk protein intolerant rather than lactose??
Interesting you would be extending the 'free from' period but I guess as there has been no blood in the stool it hasn't been that damaging (although the skin on his bum would disagree
So hard this dairy, soy and egg free diet. Tricky with what to feed the little man and he only has 4 teeth so not a great chomper yet
Anyone been throught the reintroduction process in terms of nailing if it is lactose or a protein intolerance? Fortunately we have no skin issues or bloody poops to deal with - just very runny, watery, mucusy, sore bottomed poops.
Must be sad to see your LO with hives etc,poor thing.
