So, we went to see his GI specialist today. He was 15 pounds, 6 ounces....and they said 24 inches....but he was 24 inches a month ago and its obvious to the naked eye he has grown since then...so who knows...lol.
I'm thinking of renaming my blog to the amazing adventures of baby poop. No, not really..but...seems fitting for the moment lol.
He has been on only neocate junior for a little while now...but...on saturday the little things of mucus I was still seeing that I thought were just still happening from breast milk...are obviously now happening again. There was blood again. I mean..come oonnn now. How can he really be allergic to hypoallergenic protein free formula? Really? So, there is one more to try. Its called elecare...also prescription but this one is from the makers of similiac I guess. We will see how this goes. He might be doomed to pooping mucus out of his butt forever it seems like...I am so at a loss. She also thinks his screaming might be muscle cramps...but I dunno what to do for that? (He does this thing...where out of no-where...he screams and cries like he is seriously in pain...and then is fine in about 30 seconds to a minute...I have no idea what to do for him). Also, since he seems to be spitting up more than usual while taking the zantac, he is being switched over to a different medicine for his reflux. (when he doesn't take the medicine he isn't spitting up as much anymore...but you can hear him spitting up into his mouth and swollowing it...and it effects his voice...sounds really raspy).
I'm just kind of at a loss right now though....mostly because on saturday...when I looked at his diaper...it looked EXACTLY like the diapers he had before we even did the switch to formula. Exactly. So I was thinking maybe it wasn't food allergies. Thinking we did all of this for nothing...and its really something else. She said today though, that this is the only thing it sounds like. If he doesn't tollerate the elecare, I am going to be doing my own research of things to bring up to see what she says about it.
poor baby
*hugs*
ReplyDeleteis his poo yellow or green? I ask because everything I read talks about green mucusy stools and Zavier has yellow. But they're straight mucus now too :-(
When I first got worried about everything...they were green with strings of mucus...dark...with blood. Every single time I went back to trying breast milk after I already had started him on the hypoallergenic formula...they were...without fail...yellow/maybe light brown---but straight mucus :(
ReplyDeleteSo now they're exactly like Zavier's... so it is a problem. :-/ I was hoping I was imagining things. His appt is at the end of the month, I'm gonna bring it up then. Thankfully Jas isn't trying to convince me I'm over reacting or anything. I think because I'm not cutting anything out right now just charting it. He even said he would help me w/ a diff style of chart that might help us see it a bit clearer. Shocked lol.
ReplyDeleteI think what was hard about it...is that when they were were just straight mucus...cole acted fine. Like everything was ok. So, a couple times I just tried to convince myself everything was 100% ok because the whole thing was just weird. All the food allergy stuff i read said green. I dunno...lol..tell me if you find out what it is!
ReplyDeleteWill do. Zavier is def acting fine although he has a set time of day he's a bit grumpier.. that could be normal/unrelated though lol. I have noticed him spiting up a lot more again lately and he only gained 2 oz this last week... but... he's already gained more than average for the time between appointments and he still has 3 weeks until the next lol.
