A couple of weeks ago my soon, then 8 weeks had blood and mucous in his stool as well as a lot of green stools. Ped did tests, all normal, and suggested eliminating dairy and soy for 2 weeks. I did that and no more blood or green stools but we are still getting mucous, mostly the first poop or two in the a.m. He nurses several times during the night but only pees until morning when he has a couple of big poops and that is when we see the most mucous.
A friend suggested cutting out wheat gluten to eliminate the mucous. My questions: 1) is this mucous normal - his ped said some was but it still seems like a lot to me and 2) with wheat and gluten is it necessary to eliminate for two weeks like dairy or will it leave my system sooner?
He is otherwise healthy and gaining weight. Thanks.
