My LOs had periodic mucousy stools for no apparent reason, but I had also heard that it could be due to them coming down with a little cold, teething, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498662 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:39:50 +0000 sorrycharlie 498662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SLR: I hope so too! My LO was kind of fussy during the time period when these poops were going on but not crazily so. She's also starting to teethe, so I never know what symptom belongs with what, haha! Aside from the yuck mucus her poops looked totally normal. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498658 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:38:02 +0000 SLR 498658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: That's what the nurse told me too. It just made me wonder after coming back this week. I hope it's just a bug! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498648 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:36:06 +0000 sorrycharlie 498648@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>we are actually having a similar issue now, but I didn't eat anything out of the ordinary. after 3 days it stopped (so, no mucus today). she's 15 weeks. I'm going to wait and see what happens - I read in what to expect the first year that mucus in EBF poop can mean a mild stomach bug? not sure.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498606 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:25:44 +0000 SLR 498606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Normal color. Just mucousy and not seedy. She seemed completely fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498600 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:23:56 +0000 hilsy85 498600@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Was it green as well? Or just mucous-y? And did she seem to be in discomfort? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/does-this-sound-like-a-food-allergy#post-498595 Fri, 11 Jan 2013 15:22:59 +0000 SLR 498595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO (7 weeks old and EBF) had a period of 3-4 days with mucousy poops last week. I saw no blood in it and she had no other problems. The doctor said just to keep an eye on it and call back if I saw any blood or she developed a fever. It went away after a few days but came back a couple days ago. The only thing I can think of that I ate out of the norm around both of these periods was peanut butter. </p> <p>I've had dairy all along and haven't noticed any problems there. I also had peanut butter in the first couple weeks after having her and have eaten other foods containing nuts without noticing any mucus then.</p> <p>Has anyone had this issue with peanuts and breastfeeding? Does it sound like it could be an allergy? And if so, would it definitely mean that she'd end up having a peanut allergy? </p>
