Elmination dieting/gassy baby?

DS is 2 weeks tomorrow and the last couple of days has been SUPER gassy, grunting and having some trouble pooping.  Everything I have read said it could be a lactose intolderance, any ideas on what it could be?
We have his Dr. appt tomorrow, I will ask about it then also.

    Besides lactose intoleran or a cow's milk protein sensitvity, gassiness could result from drinking too fast/having an overactive letdown.  If you don't have an overactive letdown and you don't think LO is drinking too fast, try cutting dairy out of your diet.  DS developed a sensitivity to cow's milk protein at 4 months and we discovered it because he had green mucousy stools and was really fussy after feedings.  Thankfully, he grew out of it at 6 months.  GL tomorrow!
