I EBF and my 2 month old has mucus in his poop and screams only when farting. The doctor thought the screaming was due to an immature digestive system and a nurse thought he had a virus which was causing the mucus but now I'm thinking he might have allergies. His poop looks normal except for the mucus (orange, mustard seed appearance, no blood) Has anyone else had their baby go through this and it turned out to be allergies to something in particular? We have a doctors appointment coming up in a few days and I plan on questioning him further. I hate seeing him in pain.
Re: Mucus in poop and screaming
I had these symptoms as an adult (minus the screaming). I have severe Celiac Disease, the doctors tests say that I am NOT Celiac but once I completely removed Gluten from my diet it's gone away. I can also tell if I've eaten Gluten on accident now by my upset stomach and mucus pooh. My doctor also believed I was bulimic since I'd throw up all the time but I haven't thrown up since changing diet.
