I’m not exactly sure where to post this….so I thought I’d try the MSPI section.
I have been on an “elimination diet” of sorts, due to my son’s symptoms which include severe reflux, congestion, mucousy stool, blood in stool, and elevated white blood cells in stool. The other concern is his breathing…..his airway is so swollen and red, despite being on 22.5 mg of Prevacid. The GI said that this swelling could also be an allergic reaction.
I have eliminated dairy, soy, eggs, fish, and peanuts for 2 1/2 weeks, now. The blood disappeared, and then REAPPEARED about 1 1/2 weeks into my elimination diet.
I saw the GI today, and she feels that we need to switch to Elecare….due to my son’s “allergic colitis” and also she is worried about me being malnutritioned being off of so many proteins. I gave it to my son tonight and he hated it. I hated it. I am an emotional wreck. I believe very strongly in breastfeeding. I don’t want to give it up! But I also want my son’s GI tract to be able to heal. And I want to get his reflux under control.
Please, please, please guide me through this!
The doctors talk about this form of severe allergy usually being attributable to dairy, soy, or eggs. I have eliminated all of those….and he still has blood in his stool.
I have heard that some MSPI symptoms can be similar to symptoms from foremilk/hindmilk imbalance. But does the fact that he has the elevated white blood cell in his stool indicate that it is definitely allergy related?
Is there anyone out there who has done the TED long term….due to their LO being so intolerant to so many foods?
Thank you for any help you can give!
she is a baby and isn’t BRATTY. please mama! hold her, love her and help her
.
if she needs the meds, she needs the meds. she’s *only* 9 months and unfortunately some babies need meds longer than others…12 months is around the corner & you can re-assess meds then…what CAN she eat rather than what can’t she eat?
peas? green beans? broccoli? squash- yellow, zuchini, acorn, butternut, others? apples? plums (I mixed w/ apples)? banana? avocado? potato? sweet potato? carrots? parsnip?for the thrush you might want to try probiotics
Probiotics, the brands people have used and liked:

oh & if she has thrush & you’re breastfeeding you need to take the nyastin too or else you may wind up passing it back and forth to one anotherMy son was born 7 weeks early and started showing signs of reflux when we brought him home at 5 weeks old. He is on prilosec, which doesn’t seem to be helping much at all. I have been pumping breast milk for him and bottle feeding since he was born. In the NICU they fortified the milk with 24 calories of formula (a teaspoon and a half per 100 ml) and insisted this continue until he is 6 months old. He gained weight at a very fast rate on this mixture. I have done some experimenting since he’s been home and have determined that the reflux is better and the spit-up less in volume if I don’t include the formula in his breast milk feeds. I do not want to deprive him of those extra calories if he needs them, but I want him to be as comfortable as possible. Does anyone have any insight into the true necessity of fortifying breast milk for a premature infant? The doctors insist it’s necessary, but other sources (including friends and family) insist that breast milk is all he needs, especially since he has gained weight so well (went from 3 lbs 1 oz at birth to 6 lbs 1 oz by 6 weeks old). Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.
