My 2 month old baby girl has been having dark green poops with mucous and occasional spots of dark blood for about a week now. My pediatrician says my daughter is most likely experiencing a food intolerance (to cow's milk proteins, since it's the most common allergen) and I should cut out diary from my diet for a while and see if her stools improve...
Now, I'm willing to do whatever I need to when it comes to my daughter's health! But dairy is a major part of my diet, and I'm not sure where to get calcium and protein from if I'm not consuming dairy.
Also...how do proteins I'M consuming cross over into my breastmilk???? Leaky gut??
My immediate thoughts were that I need to stop slacking on my daily carrot salad (now I am trying to eat 2 salads a day, with coconut oil, vinegar and salt of course.) And are my progesterone levels plummeting so fast after pregnancy that it's causing digestive issues over estrogen dominance? I am pretty irregular now, similar to how things were before I ever started Peating. I'm considering supplementing with progesterone, increasing raw carrot salads and eliminating dairy to see if things improve. I thought today would be my first day without dairy, but I had half and half in my coffee this morning without thinking.
Thoughts?
