Mary Lynn on Blood in Diaper

Andrea,

My son also has MSPI and we only on occasion see a little bit of blood in his stools.

Most doctors just diagnose by trial and error.. .if they take the baby off of milk/soy and they improve, then they have an intolerance.

I found this site where this mom had a test done on the lining of the intestines that showed there was an intolerance:

So the answer is yes, there is a way to test, but most of the time doctors will just tell you to try a different formula or TED.

I've wondered about my daughter being intolerant of milk, and possibly soy, but until recently, I never saw blood in her stool. This changed on Saturday and today is the third day I've seen some. I saw her pediatrician today (before the third diaper) and she told me that I should only be worried if it continues for several days. So my question is should I immediately suspect an intolerance or wait it out a few more days as per my pediatrician's advice? Is there a definite way of knowing if a baby has an MSPI?

thanks!
