any MSPI moms here?

So worried about my little guy. I tend to be a worrier by nature, but add that to the fact that I had a horrendous pregnancy and a preemie...that puts me near the edge and makes me think the worst about a lot of situations, unfortunately.

So I've been dairy free for 4 weeks. If DS had a dairy intolerance, it should be out his and my systems by now, according to the pedi. Well, yesterday DS cried basically the entire day and did nurse as much/long as usual. This morning, he had a painful bowel movement which was basically nothing but mucous. So I took him to the clinic, told them about that and some other symptoms, and they check his diaper. It is positive for traces of blood. So now they tell me to cut out soy, as well. I had already cut out soy to a large degree. Basically, it's only in the bread that I eat.

I just can't understand why this is getting worse with the diet restrictions instead of better. So I'm worried it's something else wrong, something bigger than the food intolerance. But the pedi didn't have any advice or insight...just gave me a referral to the GI. That's great....but what I am supposed to do in the meantime with a baby who suddenly is acting different, not eating as much as usual, and in pain/uncomfortable? I will just have to go with my gut and take him in again or somewhere different if this continues through the weekend/worsens.

The good thing is he's been gaining weight awesome all along, a bit faster than average. I don't want his eating/weight to be affected by this now, of course.

Any other MSPI moms here? Please tell me it gets better! Please tell me that breastfeeding isn't doomed! I am willing to cut whatever out of my diet...I just wish I knew what that was and that it didn't take so long to make a difference! Ugh...worries, worries...
