[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My almost 4 mo breastfed son has had signs of food reactivity from the beginning with blood in his stool early on. By 1 month I was dairy free and by month 2 I had cut the remaining top 8 allergens. Spit up, mysterious rashes, watery eyes persisted.  At 10 weeks he stopped gaining weight and I cut a few other foods: rice, oats, corn, poultry, beef. He started gaining again, slowly, and after I accidentally had rice and he broke out in a rash I believe that had been a food trigger for him.

[b]Anyway, he’s falling weight percentiles and I am doing my due diligence on hypoallergenic formula vs BM[/b], so no advice needed there. I want to talk to some good specialists to assess his current GI health, get input on his current feeding plan, and to also have a plan before starting solids on when and how to introduce allergenic foods to such a reactive baby. I am finding that not many docs are knowledgeable about these issues in breastfed kids. I would appreciate names of any pediatric allergist, GI or other docs or even dietician type professional who could help.

[b]Note that this is not an issue with how much he is eating, as I have worked with ped and LC extensively and even switched to exclusively pumping so as to more carefully track quantity and weight gain.[/b][/quote]

How long are you going to do "due diligence" before you just start getting more calories into your baby? [/quote]
