Food Allergies Treatment

We went to the pediatrician on Thursday for a check up and my daughters two month shots. Just so you know she’s a preemie born two months early – so technically she went around her due date.
The first stinky diaper she had of the day was runny and green. I wasn’t sure what was up with that, so I changed it at the pediatrician and as soon as I put another diaper on her, she did it again – and it smelled to high heaven. So I asked the pediatrician if it was diarrhea. She checked it out and said she was going to test it for invisible blood – which she said “don’t freak out – if it’s there – it’s not a big deal.” She said it came back positive almost immediately and then proceeded to tell us that our daughter has milk allergies and that while I’m breastfeeding I have to abstain from dairy all together. Which is fine, but is this a sudden judgment call? Can they really tell that quickly that that’s what it is? What is this invisible blood? I trust her but my fiance is skeptical.

My youngest daughter has a milk allergy so I’ve switched the whole family to soy milk. I’ve heard many people say they use rice milk to cook.

Mom is very allergic to milk products, dad’s not.

My baby had cow’s milk allergy when we introduced it when she was about 6 months. She’s now 19 months old and I am considering trying to give her cow’s milk formula again. She does not seem to like soy milk and lactose free milk.
