Re: the case you described, have you checked out themother's diet? If she is ingesting dairy herself, that could be the problem. ALL dairy, + beef (same protein source) Baby could have a very rare condition, breastfeeding-related colitis. Usually, baby is not in pain, but parents freak when they see bloody or blood-tinged diapers. Oh, dear, I believe you mentioned dairy-free diet. But, for how long? And iwas it ALL dairy? In prepared foods as well? Re: writing for JHL. Feel free to send me a FYI only copy (one copy only) and I will provide pre-submission suggestions with an eye toward improving it before reviewers see it. No one knows about same except submitter and me (and I'll never tell!). %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% %% Kathleen G.
