  My LO's poops are still more on the green side. I've only been completely dairy free for about 12 days myself though. Before that I was just cutting out major dairy products. I never saw mucous so I can't really help on that end.

  Fussy/colic and gassiness were his major symptoms.

  Hi, I gave up ALL forms of dairy the first of this month. You have to research a lot - dairy is in everything! So if you are just giving up milk, cheese, ect you probably won't notice a difference if there is a dairy sensitivity. I started making my own granola bars and snacks because I can only eat meat, eggs, fruits, veg, and grains that don't have milk. Check labels, milk was in my bread so I had to find one without it. Basically nothing prepackaged.

  After one week I noticed improvements. It takes 2 weeks for milk protiens to leave your body and another 2 weeks to leave your baby's. My son also has reflux so I have to keep him on meds for that too to notice a drastic difference.

  Here's some sites I started with.

  It has been about 5 weeks for me of eliminating all obvious dairy and soy and as much hidden dairy and soy as I can (need to try a bit harder). I definitely noticed the poops stopped being mucous-y somewhere between 2-3 weeks. We still have lots of other symptoms though (eczema, congestion, now poops are turning green) so I am going to do a complete elimination diet and then start introducing foods back in slowly.

  The above websites are great- thanks for sharing! Another helpful one is: mspimama.com

  Thanks for the websites jnh and azco. 

  I've been completely and totally dairy free (even hidden) for almost 2 weeks and thought I would start to notice a difference by now.  I'll give it another week or so and if there is no change, I'm thinking about a total elimination diet.  I really hope it doesn't come to that!
