I really appreciate those who read this through. I suspect my EBF 2 m.o. DS is having allergic reactions to something(s) in my diet. I’m tired, and stressed, etc., and thought others here could help point me in the right direction.
The symptoms he has had are green, watery/mucosy stools, lots of baby acne and a yellow/waxy cradle cap type thing on his forehead and ears. He also is quite spitty, but doesn’t seem too bothered by it. He’s not a very fussy baby, doesn’t get cry more than an hour or so each day and sleeps well for his age.
About 2 weeks ago I stopped eating all dairy, even trace amounts. Immediately his stools became more yellow, and less frequent but they are still watery/mucosy. The acne and cradle cap type rash is pretty much gone. He has never had a diaper rash. He still spits up a lot, but again doesn’t seem bothered by it. I have since cut peanuts and egg (it’s been about a week). I will try wheat and soy next. I have my own GI issues would really really like to avoid "total elimination" for several reasons.
How long after eliminating a food should I expect symptoms to clear? Does this sound like allergies to parents who have BTDT? What next?
Thanks in advance!
