Four-week old: very irritable, excessive gas, sweaty, frequent,recently smelly stool, nurses with "urgency", sometimes comes off and on with frantic response, has anxious look on his face. I also feel that his eyes are more protruding than normal, but it could be that he was crying hard the entire time. Trying elimination diet. One day was improved but next day worse than ever. Mother has history of allergies and consistent gas problems and hypothoroidism. She took Synthroid throughout pregnancy and is continuing. My references on Synthroid are inconsistent. What is new here? What about beef in a highly dairy-sensitive infant? Kathy A. alluded to beef in a post on dairy. My daughter has a reaction to beef, though milder than milk products.
