We hit a slope with you and you've reverted back to the fussy baby you were a few months ago when we didn't know you were allergic to milk or soy. I'm lucky if you sleep 2 - 2 1/2 hours at a time. Some nights I'm doing good if you sleep an hour. You wake me up with your cries of pain. It breaks my heart to hear you cry out like that. I try and give you Mylicon, rock you, feed you...anything to calm your cries. Sometimes it works - sometimes it doesn't. I just hold you in hopes you at least know I'm there for you You've had blood in your stools the last 2 days, so we're watching that closely. So far it hasn't gotten worse and you're still not running a fever. That's a good sign.
We saw your allergist today and we're wondering if you've become allergic to additional items. Unfortunately we can not do the typical food allergy blood test because that test for anitbodies and you're allergic to the proteins. He called it Food Protein Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES).
I'm going to take wheat and eggs out of my diet and see if you improve. If not, we know it's not that. If so, then we need to figure out if you're allergic to both or just one of them. So...I've got some work ahead of me. It will be challenging to figure out what I can now eat. There's not much left once I take out dairy, soy, wheat, & eggs! It's all worth it though if you feel better!
