Your symptoms don't sound like what either of my kids had. It doesn't seem like a milk issue. It's late for that to appear. For my kids, dairy issues looked like they had lime green slimy poop, spit up constantly, and never slept well. Allergy showed up as the kid getting hives from my milk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864372 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 05:03:17 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2864372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: oh, okay. Well then for sure you’d expect the family doctor to be a little more attentive. No experience with food allergies, and hopefully that’s not it. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864366 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 00:20:24 +0000 meadow 2864366@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also think the dairy thing would have come up sooner than now. Could the mucous be from teething or a cold?</p> <p>I agree fissure since it got worse right after dr put her finger up his bum 😲 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864365 Wed, 02 Jan 2019 00:18:05 +0000 bees_knees 2864365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsSRS: I second this! </p> <p>Do you know specifically what blood work was ordered? Typically first step should be a stool specimen if they suspect an allergy at that age. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864361 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 23:12:05 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2864361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: yes. I’m in Ontario, Canada. Here (in my small town anyway!) we don’t see a Pediatrician ever unless there’s some health issues going on. Everything is through a family doctor. I have an almost 5 year old and a 2.5 year old and this will be the first visit to a ped.</p> <p>@MrsSRS: thanks! He’s definitely a pretty happy guy so the allergy seems unlikely to me too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864352 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 22:32:46 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 2864352@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: wait, what kind of doctor saw your baby? You said the one that ordered the blood tests is referring you to a pediatrician? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864351 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 21:47:55 +0000 MrsSRS 2864351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If it's anything like my child's dairy allergy you would have a screaming, sad baby. I vote minor fissure and wouldn't worry unless it happened again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/blood-in-ebf-baby-poo#post-2864333 Tue, 01 Jan 2019 19:48:10 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 2864333@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son is 5.5 months old and EBF. </p> <p>He had some mucusy poop with a couple dots of blood on and off for a week and seemed to be pooping more than normal. We finally got a doctors appointment and she said it was very “strange” since he was EBF. She looked at a picture of the diaper and ordered a CBC and cows milk allergy blood work. This was on December 19th. </p> <p>They couldn’t get enough blood work for the cows milk allergy test and the CBC was fine. My husband and I assumed he had/has a fissure, as google seems to say that’s quite common even in EBF babies. The doctor stuck a finger in his bum to feel around, but did not actually use her eyes to inspect anything. She said it “felt fine”. </p> <p>After we left her office he had more blood then normal so we assumed she irritated the fissure, I asked her if that was possible and she said “no. He doesn’t have one. I looked”. She definitely did not look. </p> <p>About 10 days have passed and he has had no blood in his poop until tonight. </p> <p>My diet has been pretty much the same his whole life. Any thoughts since my doctor was very clueless (and tends to be💆🏼‍♀️). </p> <p>She referred us to a Pediatrician but I don’t have an appointment with one yet. </p> <p>If it was a dairy allergy it would have likely started sooner than 5 months right? He’s a pretty happy baby and has been. Good sleeper for the most part. No regular. Spits up minimally. Any insight or tips are welcome. </p>
