I had my son at the allergist this morning and he suggested I wean (for the third time).  This time he told me that he had a mother who was so dedicated to nursing that when her daughter had continued blood and mucus in her stool after months of a total elimination diet, mom herself ingested nothing but Elecare for an entire month.  Baby had continued symptoms, so mom finally agreed to wean and once baby was on Elecare herself, voila, all her symptoms disappeared.  Has anyone heard of something like this?  What would be going on inside baby that this could be possible?  I'm not curious for myself -- our symptoms are enough under control that I would not even consider this.  But I do tend to help LLL moms of allergic babies because I'm the only Leader who has dealt with it on a personal level, so I'm looking to gather knowledge about these rare cases.
