Any LOs with random food allergies?

My LO has had mucous poo (just.straight.mucous.) for two months, and is fussy and uncomfortable after feedings. I've cut out: dairy, soy, gluten, eggs, and nuts. What else can I cut out? Do any of you have LOs with intolerances to something else besides these foods? I'll try anything!

No mucous in LO's diapers but he has excessive gas. I've cut out dairy, soy, and tomatoes. I'm having a tough time trying to find things to eat I can't imagine what you are going through! Maybe no caffeine??

Be careful.  With dairy, you have to cut out milk, lactose, whey and casein.  The whey and casein are what really get you. It's in meat, packaged food, chips, fast food, etc.
