Thats the best way to describe it. And they are starting to tear up her bottom. could it be something I'm eating? What could it be?

Best post title I've seen around here in a while (sorry, I know you're worried about your LO). 

How exactly are they "tearing up" her bottom? Rash? Anal fissure?

We had these about 10 times a day with lots of crankiness and ended up being dairy intolerance.  Any blood or crankiness?

No blood, but she is pretty gassy.  Her bottom is pretty red.  We started putting cream on her, but I'd rather fix the gas than have to treat the red bottom all the time.  I'm not really eating/drinking much dairy, but I'm going to start writing down what I eat.  Maybe I'm eating more than I think.

It might help to cut dairy, hard to know for sure.  Just an fyi it takes a couple of weeks to work fully, but we saw some improvement in a week.

Maybe add a probiotic for you and LO. I know there has been a stomach bug going around here.

DD had wet farts for about the first 2 months. Every time we changed her diaper there would be a little poo. I would try a little desitin just to protect her bottom. DD got a rash, but it ended up bein yeast because we both had thrush. 

Once DD started to poop every few days, the wet farts stopped too. Maybe she gained more control over her BMs? I don't really know.
