Milk Free

KraneRN

DS has been having blood in his stool (sometimes bright red, sometimes more brownish/red) since Monday. He also has eczema. When we saw our pedi yesterday she examined him for a rectal fissure and was unable to see one. She suggested waiting a day or two to see if bleeding stops, which would indicate a fissure higher up that she might not be able to see. If it doesn't clear up, she recommending going milk free because this could be a milk protein allergy and he might have milk protein colitis. I'm fully committed to going milk free and I realize how difficult this is going to be. Luckily DH is going to try it as well and I'll have a lot of support from other family and friends. I've already checked out KellyMom.com and a couple of other reputable sources. I'm just feeling very guilty that something that I'm ingesting is making my little guy sick. Luckily he is pretty much happy and is putting on weight appropriately. I guess I just needed to vent. Anyone else going milk free? Any success with your little one's symptoms? Thanks!
