Hello, my 2 month old exclusively breastfed son has had loose mostly green stools (sometimes mustardy) for over a month. Sometimes blood has been present. Hes been gaining weight and is in good spirits most of the time - has had no fever. Often gets gas pains late at night. We did a 3rd stool and occult blood test and it showed mucus +, some vegetable cells, alkaline pH, few fat, 30-35 pus cells and 3-5 RBCs. Occult blood test was positive. The dr recommended removing dairy a few weeks ago and my son is taking a probiotic daily. Is this still an allergic reaction/colitis.
Your child is probably suffering from a bacterial gastrointestinal infection as the pus cell count is high. The occult blood positivity is simply associated with it. Generally such infections do not require to be treated with antibiotics, but I would probably have played safe. You may give curd. I have a confusion. You say your child is exclusively breastfed and on the other side you mention allergy to dairy products. I therefore assume that the child is getting some cow milk at least. It is unlikely to be due to allergic reactions. Colitis is an infection located in the colon, but it is hard to comment specifically on the location of the infection.
