What made you realize that you needed to give it up? DS is pretty fussy and  gassy most of the day, i am not sure how much of this is just how he is or if it's something i am eating. are there others things to look for if he is intolerant of diary? Did anyone just limit diary and have good results. thanks:)

    Pretty much!  Just gave it a whirl and within a few days saw improvement.  Within two weeks, all symptoms gone!

    I read up on allergies/food sesitivities early on since I have a lot of them.  One night she cried a horrible cry every time she pooped or passed gas.  Her stool was also green and mucusy. 

    I cut out milk since that's one of the most common offender.  Sadly cheese had a similar effect.

    With an allergy they can also have blood in their stool.

    I thought She wouls be OK with just a taste of cheese yesterday, but it still had the similar results.

    I had to give up dairy early on and it helped.  She was fussy, would spit up a lot and she also had blood in her stools.  I asked my Dr when babies typically grow out of it and she said when solids are introduced.   She was right.  Now I just eat anything. 

    ETA: I also avoided broccoli and soda.

    DS was about your LO's age when I was seeing the same symptoms - I cut out the obvious (milk, yogurt, cheese, creamy dressings/sauces, etc) and saw results within a week or so, though I've heard it can take longer. DS has been like a new child since...

    I tried obvious sources for a couple of days but it wasn't long enough to notice a difference in fussiness and my ped didn't really think it was (just colic).  We eventually saw a GI doctor and she immediately had me cut out dairy and soy completely for a month.  I noticed a difference after a week and after 3 weeks, he was normal.  If you do decide to try, make sure to give yourself enough time.  I can't believe it was an easy fix and I waited 5 months to figure it out the first time...
