    I was going to suggest dairy too... maybe a visit to a a pead, in case you have to eliminate a few different things? Good luck

    Agh, I was hoping no one would say gluten

    My mum is coeliac... my sister and I have both been tested and while we don't have coeliac, my sister carries the gene, but my GP refused to test me for the gene because apparently lots of the population carry the gene, it doesn't mean you necessarily have or are going to develop coeliac.

    Mum wants us to get both our DDs tested as she says the poos aren't normal... my niece is similar...

    Seriously I do not know how I would eliminate dairy as she drinks about 6 sippy cups of milk a day! I guess I could replace with soy milk? See if that helps? What if she doesn't like it - what else could I subsitute?

    My niece on DH's side has a dairy allergy... Angela I haven't noticed excessive wind but she does tell me her tummy is sore sometimes...

    I think a dietician and/or paed might be in order...

    yup ditto to dairy too hun
    does it smell sour or sweet her poo
    that sour poo could be a sign of dairy
    i would definately cut out dairy and see what happens
    To tell if a person is allergic or has an intollerance to a certain food- you
    1. take them off that food for 4 weeks
    during this time get to know DD resting heartbeat whilst she is eating
    after 4 weeks- give her a small portion of the suspect food
    take her heartrate at 10, 20 30 seconds then 1 min, 2 mins, 5 mins 10 mins
    you are looking to see if it gets higher or not when she eats the suspect food
    if it gets higher, then its a suspect food
    i can also give you the name of a great natropath in eltham which helped my DD with her dairy malabsorbtion
    she is great and will be able to help you
