Allergy to dairy...please the stools would be bloody and green all the 
time..been there, done that and we did go to the allergist and my son 
was tested and wow no allergy, just a sensitivity that was alleviated 
within 2 weeks of me being dairy free. Many times I find my clients are 
not truly dairy free and have no clue what is really in food. Then the 
allergist warned us that going off dairy would entice us to go straight to 
soy and what a bad idea that was because the largest cross allergen to 
dairy is soy. So in came the rice milk and self prepared foods for awhile 
and then he was fine by 8 months. Delayed solids on advice of the 
allergist (and Steven could have cared less) until 8-9 months with no 
dairy, nuts, etc etc until past 1 and preferably no cow milk until 2. It 
worked, no allergy has ever surfaced and although milk seems to be an 
issue in any more than a coup per day for him he eats cheese and 
smoothies like they are not going to be sold again.

I had many talks with the allergist after this incident in regards to other 
patients I saw and my son and he agreed that a true dairy allergy 
would show in such a way that it would almost be impossible to miss. 
He also told me that contrary to many peds. they should be tested to 
avoid any serious complications that could come later in the first or 
second year when foods were eaten in larger amounts. He said he had 
seen kids that it did not show as easily but they were the rare form 
that most times the anus area would be flaring red, green frothy stools 
laced with mucous, red eyebrows (almost crusty) and skin issues. Just 
my take from an allergist I learned to trust very much and appreciate 
his education about the subject, not the lectures that many parents get.
