sthinky gas

[Anonymous]

this might be a random question, but I have been on an elmination diet (just the major milk, soy, wheat, etc due to blood in the stool) and am now adding foods back in. The day I ate wheat, the next day immediatly McKenzie turned into a baby I couldn’t put down and very unhappy. I stopped the wheat and was able to put her down in her bouncer again. I have been trying soy oils next (I really need something to put on my rice bread and SBL isn’t too bad). I can still put her down, but I have noticed that her gas is more stinky…can this be a sign of an intolerance. Other than that she is pretty much the same. Last night she woke up at 1:30 am instead of 3ish like she usually does, but other than that she has been OK…she IS a gassy baby no matter what I do, but some pass with more ease and some are stinky like they have been today. What do ya’ll think? I am ready to give up BF because I second guess EVERYTHING i eat! And I don’t know if I can live on rice bread for 10 months…lol.

I would think that if she is not in pain or showing blood in her stools after you’ve added soy oils that it is OK. Maybe someone else can chime in. I’m not sure if it helps for you to know this, but my older DS was on soy infant formula and always had smelly gas but it was not painful for him to pass it and he had no indication of an intolerance (like restlessness, mucous, blood, diahrrea, etc)

HTH! And I don’t blame you for wanting to spice up that diet! LOL

jill,

How did you find out that Landen couldn’t handle rice? I have always wondered if rice might bother McKenzie since she still has some restless sleep issues even after doing the elmination diet.

We were trialing rice milk with him. The first time I trialed it, he had picked up strep throat from somewhere, so it was hard to tell what was bothering him. I stopped the rice milk til he got better and started it up again a little over a week ago and it was a disaster! He suddenly started refluxing again- even spitting up. Had really bad gas and constipation and was waking all night and when he was sleeping he was restless and moaning in his sleep! I knew then it was def rice!! I alwa ys heard it was uncommon for rice to bother anyone, but Landen cannot have it. He even had issues with rice cereal when he was younger so I always gave him oatmeal. There is an Oat milk available that we may try soon.
