Hi All,
I'm working with a mom who has a 4 week old infant who was admitted to the 
hospital  yesterday, for grossly bloody stools. Around the time the stools 
appeared mom started c/o "pain in my milk channels", baby also had visible 
thrush at that time - this was last week. Mom began course of fluconazole 
on Sat. On admission baby placed on formula and mom instructed to remove 
cow's milk from diet, with intention of restarting breastfeeding when milk 
proteins clear. Dad with hx Celiac disease. 

Any ideas? Anyone seen bloody stools triggered by yeast in a susceptible 
infant. Could there be a connection to the Celiac - the GI says no, that 
he would expect darker blood if it were from Celiac. Any help with the 
detective work would be appreciated! Have looked at the archives and there 
are some interesting ideas there, looking for anything new or that makes 
the direct connection.

TIA
Kathy Lilleskov RN IBCLC
