Question 4

my baby is two months old and a gp recently said she's colic. so far i've bought loads of medication. i googled and it said she could be lactose intolerant, the symptoms are all pointing in that direction. how do i know if she is?

Accepted Answer

Try lactose free: Colic by definition is unexplained crying for at least 3hrs/day, 3days/wk in the first 3 months. It is common &amp; fades with age. Lactose intolerance produces acid scorching diaper rashes, lots of gas &amp; some overlapping symptoms, but it is 24/7. Colic classically is afternoon/evening. There are lactose free formulas (soy) but breast milk has lactose.

Question 5

my 2 month old has dark green, almost water'sh poo, she drinks roughly around 500mls of formula, she was on infacare, past 5 days on s26 comfort gold, diagnosed with colic, has symptoms of teething, constantly restless and troubled?

Accepted Answer

Gradual transition: It sounds like the recent change of formula might have caused your baby some discomfort. Gradual transition is always suggested when changing formula to avoid gastrointestinal upset. The discomfort should ease after a few weeks. In the future, if you are going to change formula, transition slowly over a week or more by gradually decreasing the current formula while increasing the new formula.

Question 6

2 months breastfed baby has occational blood streaked poop,mustard poop,baby very healthy gaining weight,no colic, what could be the potential cause?could it be cow milk allergy even if no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

: The clinical scenario you described is not consistent with a cow's milk hypersensitivity.  More likely, food protein-induced proctocolitis.  About 60% of cases occur among breast-fed infants.

Question 7

i have all the symptoms of a kidney stone. micro hematuria renal colic back and flak pain yet no stones on ultrasound or  ct kub (non contrast)?

Kidney stone: This could possibly still be a kidney stone that has not been picked up by the testing. Also a differential is problems with the uterus or kidney infection. I would recommend you see a urologist or a urogynechologist.
