Casi,
Lots of possibilities here. As someone else mentioned, celiac is the obvious next to investigate. 
Wouldn't be doing such terribly invasive procedures as biopsies, though. 

I would also look at feeding--lots of babies gain fine and seem top do "well" for several months on 
an inefficient latch--the the supply drops due to ineffective removal and everyone is surprised. IMO,
it is always worthwhile to look first and foremost at how the baby feeds. Lactose overload alone can 
cause significant gut damage and blood in stools. I always look pretty deeply into the period of time 
when "all was well", b/c the current problem often originated there. 

Two weeks is often not long enough to clear cow milk proteins. The protein is present in the cow, not
just in her milk. 

Infants can have Crohn's Disease. 

There is much more to the question of diet than "to which foods is my baby sensitive/allergic?"
The bottom line is that the chemical components that occur naturally in food can be the problem.
