MUCUS & BLOOD IN STOOL
by neha_me, Jun 22, 2009 05:44AM
My son is 11months old now. When he was 4 months old this problem started. We consulted several paediatrician, Surgens and other doctors. Different doctors gave him different anti-biotics. But still not cured. One fine morning he was passing only Blood (like WATER) The very next day we took him to India for a better treatment and showed him to another paediatician. He also gave baby 2 weeks atibiotics. At last he asked us to show him to Gastoentologist and they did Colonoscopy (Inserting camera into the stomach) and found there are few boils inside him stomach and send it for biopsy. Thank GOD the report came and nothing to worry.
Even then the docotors were not very sure why it was happening. They said it can be lactose intolerance and asked me to avoid all the dairy products (not sure) and they prescribed digetive medicine for 3 months. And now he completed 4 months but still there is mucus in his stool. But no Blood. I don't know what to do. His birth weight was 3.5kg and now he is 11 moths old and only 7kg. Even when he was 6 months old it was the same weight. He does't gain wait. He looks very skilly and small. Pleeeaaasse... help me what is the problem with my child. pls.....

my nephew had same problem. My sister took him for allergy testing. He was found to have problem with amines, salicilates, dairy and nightshade foods. he is now 1 year old and has not gained any weight for nearly 4 months.... she is finally getting help and advice, but it is a slow process. She has to be extremely careful about what her son eats or else he has symptoms again (bloody, mucousy disgusting poops).....
Is your son still breastfed? if he is, you need to make sure he drinks as much milk as possible.... as this will keep him getting nutriends, even while he has this problem.
I think that your son should be comprehensively tested for allergies. You can also look up the 'Prince Albert Allergy' on your browser and they are a hospital in Australia, their website has a lot of information about children an food allergies. if you can't get testing, i think they have guidelines for a comprehensive elimination diet. Again very tedious, but worth it if you can help your child.
Hope this helps. Please feel free to message me.
Best wishes..
