"For the first 10 months she stayed at the 4%. Then, she dropped to the 2%.
This was enough for the ped to refer to a gastro-specialist."

How does the baby look and act?  Happy, bright, active, meeting milestones?
A full 2 percent of normal, healthy babies are at or below the 2nd
percentile.  Unless the specialists see more to cause concern than a
gradually declining percentile, they're very likely looking at normal.
Certainly *eliminating* an excellent, well-accepted, protective food source
makes no sense at all.
