I used to eat it in my cereal and make almond milk pancakes that the boys liked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664800 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:41:25 +0000 FaithFertility 2664800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pwnstar: I can definitely do almond milk for coffee think they even make a vanilla one!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664796 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:35:49 +0000 pwnstar 2664796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I would recommend cutting out soy too--about half the babies who are intolerant to dairy are also intolerant to soy. Try almond or rice *milk.* I know it really sucks, especially around the holidays . . . I am currently dairy, soy, wheat, egg, and nut free, so I am right there with you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664794 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:33:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2664794@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Ohhh wow thanks, yeah I am going to talk more to him come next week!!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664793 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:31:14 +0000 winniebee 2664793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: You can try soy milk! Whole foods have tons of dairy free products as well. If it is truly a milk protein intolerance, your pediatrician can write a letter to your insurance company. I had to fight a little, but it was covered by insurance for T.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664791 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:28:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2664791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Can I drink Lactaid? Just thinking of what to put in my coffee......lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664789 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:27:22 +0000 FaithFertility 2664789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: It is a pain! I am just so frustrated because I feel like BAM he starts to nurse better and this.....I am educated in this thanks to you all in HB so I knew this isn't normal! Dr. seems to think it is, but I don't think so.....</p> <p>I am going to cut the dairy as I want to nurse him or at least get him BM as long as I am not working, because I have a feeling if he still isn't the best nurser and my supply when I pump is garbage we will be EFF by March! </p> <p>That formula is Pricey so I am hoping my BIL who is a PEDI in Tampa can get me a few samples to try first! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664783 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:15:44 +0000 winniebee 2664783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: soy seemed fine for him. Ty didn't start having blood in his poo until 8 weeks, actually. I think it's common for the intolerance to present around then. I cut all major dairy and didn't eat stuff with butter or milk even baked into it. It was a major pain. Sorry you are dealing with this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664780 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:13:58 +0000 FaithFertility 2664780@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: the soy was ok? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664775 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:09:44 +0000 FaithFertility 2664775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I am going to try that approach, just so weird he was fine for about 4 weeks?! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664774 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:08:22 +0000 winniebee 2664774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is how Ty's milk protein intolerance manifested. He had green mucousy stools flecked with blood until I cut dairy. I was unable to be perfect about it (and he wasn't nursing, I was just pumping), so I eventually switched him to nutramigen (where milk protein is broken down) at 4.5 months. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664773 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 13:06:51 +0000 FaithFertility 2664773@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@snowjewelz: I actually am going to, but what about the formula?!<br /> Waiting for Dr to call me.back </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664759 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 12:36:48 +0000 snowjewelz 2664759@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: :sad: Maybe while you're waiting just cut our dairy to see? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664679 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:28:29 +0000 FaithFertility 2664679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emilye519: so frustrating.....lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664677 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:26:25 +0000 emilye519 2664677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@faithfertility that does seem weird, I have no idea if the milk proteins in formula breakdown differently than those in bm - we didn't use any formula. During the time all of this was going on, I also had a bit of an oversupply so I think the hindmilk/foremilk might have been out of balance too or even a fast letdown issue? Might be worth working with a lactation consultant Or just seeing if it's a one off thing and maybe it won't happen again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664675 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:18:03 +0000 FaithFertility 2664675@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@emilye519: can it be dairy in BM only but he be ok with formula<br /> that is what is weird to me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664673 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:16:44 +0000 FaithFertility 2664673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Microscope: woudnt formula bother him too </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664671 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:16:07 +0000 emilye519 2664671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD had that happen and I had to cut out dairy and it resolved :( It sucked for me, but really made a big difference with her comfort. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664666 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:14:11 +0000 Mrs. Microscope 2664666@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like mspi. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664664 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:07:52 +0000 FaithFertility 2664664@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Miss Ariel: maybe since he is latching longer..... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664662 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 10:05:53 +0000 Miss Ariel 2664662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: For a while J's poops would go back and forth between green/mucus-y and yellow/liquid-y. But for the past few days have been consistently yellow. I'm not as engorged as I was so I'm thinking it may have been a foremilk hind milk issue. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2664618 Tue, 13 Dec 2016 09:23:06 +0000 FaithFertility 2664618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update: He was doing great and I was still supplementing as he still would not nurse and I would pump as much as I could get....(4-8 oz a day)</p> <p>Fast forward to the past week and a half 7-8 weeks he took off with nursing and is doing great, so I nurse as much as possible 2-4 great sessions a day. Still supplementing as BM seems to not be enough or MOTN when he will not latch</p> <p>The past 4-5 days he has only pooped once a day and for 2 days it is green and mucus...</p> <p>He also is spitting up a little more<br /> Isn't crying in discomfort but at times seems uncomfortable, grunting and kicks legs *gas</p> <p>Could he be only allergic to BM?? I would think if he had an allergy the formula would upset him also?<br /> Calling Dr today to fill them in too, he has his 2 month apt next week! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648356 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 22:29:19 +0000 travellingbee 2648356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My son had strings and specks of blood in his stool starting at 16 weeks. This was due to protein sensitivity which caused colitis. I had to go off dairy in my diet and supplemented later on with Alimentum. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648351 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 22:15:03 +0000 Mrs. Deer 2648351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Unlikely to be an anal fissure at this age, though pretty early response on the protein intolerance spectrum (though I think that's likely it). Have you inspected her bottom? Taken any rectal temps lately? If not and all looks well I would switch to Alimentum or Nutramigen formula and cut dairy/soy from your diet for a few weeks, trial it back in maybe in a month? Sorry you're dealing with this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648347 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:59:27 +0000 FaithFertility 2648347@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Silva: didn't seem in any discomfort </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648341 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:29:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2648341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When that happened to my DD she had a little tear. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648338 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 21:08:25 +0000 Pollywog 2648338@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: the milk proteins can also come through your bm, so you may need to cut out milk and soy as well. If you need to supplement, Allementium and Nutrimigen are typically better options </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648323 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 20:30:02 +0000 Silva 2648323@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was he straining? Did you check his temp rectally recently? Bright red usually means "new" so it could be a small tear or scratch. My son had a few spots of red blood and I honestly think it was because the poop came right after he screamed for 45 minutes in the car- he was straining.<br /> Anyway. Point is- as terrifying as it is one or two bits of blood isn't necessarily reason to freak out. But I'd definitely call your doctor and save the diaper because they may want to see it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648297 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:34:47 +0000 FaithFertility 2648297@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pollywog: 😕 I'm going to ramp up my pumping in hopes I can not supplement </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/bloody-poop#post-2648296 Fri, 04 Nov 2016 19:33:51 +0000 Pollywog 2648296@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry to hear that! My guess is that it could be a reaction to the dairy in formula. My LO didn't get green poop fora few months, but had blood right away. </p>
