Dlood in stool18wks: If you have ruled out milk protein allergy, which is the commonest cause of blood in stool at this agit may be a anal fissure and that is self limiting.But other food allegies can cause it as well.Ig it persist see a pediatri gastroenterologist.

Still milk protein: It is difficult to diagnose food allergy in infants with the standard food allergy techniques. Soy intolerance occurs in 50% of these babies. Many infants also react to partially digested cow's milk protein and need to go onto more advanced formulas. Breast feeding is the best with mom following a strict cow's milk protein free diet.
