My baby (5 moths old) has had watery, very liquidy poop since we brought her home from the hospital. -This is not counting the normal meconium poops in the hospital.- It’s so runny that almost every time she sneezes or coughs poop shoots out of her like a bullet. It’s almost always yellow. No visible blood in her poop. She is not a fussy baby in my opinion and she is gaining weight normally. HOWEVER, the consistency of her poop always seemed a little odd to me even though her pediatrician and lactation consultant said it was fine. Finally, a little over a month ago her pediatrician, per my request, had my little ones poop tested and it was positive for microscopic blood. She said this means there is inflammation somewhere in the digestive system. So fist thing I was instructed to do was cut out dairy because I’m exclusively breastfeeding. Now it’s been a month and there has been absolutely no change in her poop so back to the pediatrician. Her poop was tested again and was still positive for blood. The pediatrician isn’t worried because my little one is gaining weight normally and orange fussy etc. We were basically told there’s nothing else that can be done and we are being sent to a lactation consultant to discuss my diet. Now I know how this looks, you probably think I’m some idiot parent running to the internet for answers instead of medical professionals. I feel like that too, BUT her pediatrician has basically told us there’s nothing else to do and I am frustrated. Has anyone else dealt with something like this before?
