Poor little guy has a super red bum (and balls!!) from frequent acidic poops. We are a sad house tonight. I'm pretty sure it's lactose overload from too much foremilk (http://www.babycareadvice.com/babycare/general_help/article.php?id=18#66).
Fingers crossed he's better soon!

Oh no 
we just went through this a few weeks ago and were able to work it out relatively easily. LO was back to normal in a few days. Hope he feels better soon!

@Smurfette: he's finally sleeping. I hope he feels ok!
@MrsRoo: oh good. I'm hoping naked time and coconut oil will help

oh no! we're pretty sure row had lactose overload right around a's age, but from formula, not breast milk. is he gassy and fussy? wanting to eat all. the. time?
as for the diaper rash you know i know how horrible that is and i feel sooo sad for the little guy!! all i can recommend is that if it gets bad (open, broken skin) getting a rx for some "magic butt cream," seriously, that was the name of the cream and it has worked wonders!

@aprk: yep! I actually put breastmilk on her rash and it healed so fast! I've never compared it to coconut oil, though. I've heard that works really well, too.

Poor little guy! I hope he is feeling better!
I also think you may have solved the mystery of what's going on with my little one. He has those symptoms to a T! We have a pedi appt tomorrow to check it out.
