* Warning~Poop Content* :) Since Joshua was born he's never had what I would consider a normal poo. Around 2 months he started getting green poo, and then flecks of blood. After some research on my own I narrowed it down to some type of allergy, most likely milk.
In the beginning I decided I would just cut out all milk and soy, but that was super overwhelming. I was getting so frustrated and more upset then anything. I would spend hours in the health food aisles reading label after label after label. There's also a hundred different names for milk and soy. Argh! After talking with some moms from a MSPI board, I decided it would be okay and better for me to just start with milk and dairy.
We had a bonfire over Memorial Day weekend, and, of course, the Smores were brought out! I was super bummed to find out that I wouldnt' be able to partake in the ooey-gooey goodness that is the staple of bonfires. I ended up finding that there's certain brands of chocolate chips that contain no dairy! SCORE!
Things are going better, I think. He's still super fussy, but his stools have become less frequent and the amount has decreased. However, he is still having mucousy, runny stools. :( I'm pretty sure that means that I need to cut out soy now too. Keep posted on our overcoming of this darn MSPI! Here's to real butter and a cold glass of milk...eventually.
