I have read the archives regarding bloody stools but this is a really
severe case. Any ideas to help this mom would be most welcome. This mom
nursed her first for over a year no problems except a bit of oversupply.
This baby was doing really well. born at 8#10 and up to 16# by 2 months.
Soon after that suddenly had an extremely bloody stool and began throwing
up - he was unable to tolerate any feedings.
 He was hospitalised for about 10 days on IV and whenever any kind of milk
was reintroduced the fussyness and bleeding started again. Stool samples
tested negative for any known viruses. The ped used the label breastmilk
colitis.
 He went home for a few days on neocate and then back into childrens
hospital for another 10 days. Baby still looks quite chubby in spite of
having only gained about 3 oz in the last month. This mom can't believe
shes unable to nurse her baby - she has been pumping now for a month and
is getting pretty fed up but says she will continue if there is any hope
of returning to nursing her baby. She is Vegetarian and has taken out of
her diet all dairy, soy, peanuts and tree nuts and eggs. Baby sees a
Gastrenterologist this week.  Any words of wisdom??
