Recap:  Baby was fussy & gassy since birth.  Baby wanted to suck all of the
time.  Sudden onset of green stools at about 8 weeks.

After getting lots of feed back we opted to work with mom's diet.  Partial
elimination of dairy made no impact.  Talked mom through finding out what
things she "never" eats.  Diet would consist of pork without additives,
rice, cruciferous vegetables, and pineapple.  Within three days the baby was
sleeping well, was happy between nursing for reasonable amounts of time.
Mom sounded much more rested and relieved.  By day 5 of the diet, stools
were back to yellow with normal odor & consistency.  Mom began adding foods
back in on day 6.  Only reaction so far is to corn products.  Mom's father
and sister are extremely allergic to corn.  Dairy has not been added back
into diet yet.

Thanks to all for the feedback and help.
