With my first, he was having giant spit ups, projectile, and was very colicky and nothing seemed to help. The nurse suggested I try to cut out dairy and he stopped spitting up within 24 hours.
With my second (current baby) he had a lot of gas, was very fussy, spitting up, and had very frequent mucousy green and occasionally bloody poops. A pediatric gastroenterologist agreed that it was a milk protein allergy and I am off dairy again.

At three weeks old, my little guy was suddenly SO fussy, he did nothing but cry and sleep. If he wasn't sleeping or nursing he was hysterically crying. His diapers stopped looking the way they should and turned green and/or mucousy. He also projectile vomited a few times but not too often. And he had some eczema as well.

My pediatrician tested his diapers and there was blood so she told me to cut dairy and soy. I didn't notice a real difference in him for about 2 weeks, and then 4 weeks of being dairy/soy free I could really tell it worked. He was so happy and fun. Most of his eczema has cleared up. His diapers still don't look totally normal, but no more blood. It was a LONG 4 weeks, not knowing if it was helping, but I'm so glad I didn't give up. The diet is so easy now and he's so much fun!

I eliminated it for reflux reasons around 12 weeks. For LO's reflux, Zantac really was not helpful. As soon as we switched him to the proper dosage of Prilosec, he was like an entirely different baby. I added dairy back in with no issue.

My son had colic and reflux and basically screamed all. The. Time. So we did dairy, Zantac, etc and it didn't work. It wasn't until we did 2 weeks on Nutramigen while I was on a total elimination diet and Prevacid (game changer after a rough one week transition) that we saw drastic results. He was off meds by 5.5 months, I started adding everything back into my diet slowly by 6 months, he was supplementing with sensitive formula by 6.5 months and supplementing with regular dairy formula by 7 months. We weaned totally to formula by 10 months. He needed one month on toddler formula (12-13 months) before he could do WCM without rash and runs, but that extra month was all it took. He is 21 months and has no issues with any food except he gets a little diaper rash of he binges on berries.

With my first, he couldn't sleep because he would just have the worst gas. His diapers became mucousy too but no visible blood and the doctor never actually had them tested. He became noticeably uncomfortable when I would eat meals heavy with dairy and soy so eventually I figured it out.
With my second, his poop turned green and mucousy and had streaks of blood. He went from being an awesome sleeper to a terrible one so I didn't hesitate to cut out the dairy and soy again. We saw one ped in his doctor's practice when I first started noticing the symptoms and he agreed with me. We followed up with his regular doctor who thought it was reflux and we should introduce cereal and if that didn't work, then reflux meds. I ignored his advice and LO started to improve drastically soon after our appointment.

We had a lot of mucous in both our kids diapers. It helped my first LO, not sure if it is helping my second LO.
