2 weeks Tummy trouble (TMI PIC)

My daughter will be 2 weeks old Saturday night. She's been drinking Gerber Soothe for gas and fussiness for well over a week. The past few nights, she hasn't been sleeping much. She's having a lot of gas pain- I can tell by the way she acts. Shes extremely fussy and hard to console. She wakes up every 20 minutes or so crying in pain/discomfort. For the past two days, she's only had a bowel movement once a day. Yesterday, she started to pass a lot of very smelly gas. Last night, she filled a diaper with runny dark green stool that smelled horrible. Today, she continued having the really smelly gas and then dirtied another diaper the same way as the night before (picture attached.) Has anyone else been through this same thing? Taking her to the doctor later today. Prior to two days ago, her bowel movements have been completely normal. She's always had some gas issues, but not like this. Advice, please? Worried first time mom. She's also getting a very red rash (you can see at the top) that has her skin peeling.

    The runny green stool and bad rash sound like a food allergy to me especially as she is very gassy and fussy. It will be interesting to hear what your ped has to say, but from what I hear, the 2-3 week range is the time sensitivities really start to show up.

    My lo got super gassy when I would have any dairy. She's getting Nutramegin for formula which is big bucks, but the proteins have been broken down and it has probiotic in it to help babies get over dairy allergies.

    The rash could be from the stool. Babies have really sensitive skin down in the diaper area, which can get irritated or infected really easily. Be sure to use a good diaper cream to help with that. Also, see what your pedi says about it. She might need something a little stronger for it.

    Yes this happened to my three week old! For rash dr told us to use desitin mixed with clotimazole you can buy over the counter in foot fungal med aisle because it is likely yeast infection. As for diarrhea you have to bring it in to have it tested for blood which is sign of protein allergy and then will need to switch formulas. I felt aweful for my Lil man
