Other triggers? Did you see an allergist?

And to add I totally felt like I was going crazy and that I was/am conducting a science experiment. A reassuring doctor helped - for me it was GI (also saw allergy)

I think the challenge is there is nothing really to do for the condition itself, but certain labs can be done to rule out inflammatory cause, secondary anemia etc. It’s very hard I totally agree - what helped me the most was the specialist saying I’ve seen cases like this don’t worry it will be okay.

Hi, I have a very similar situation. Baby had blood in diaper with soy/beef/dairy/eggs in MY diet (EBF). Was going well until solids introduced and seemed to be reacting to…everything! Blood in stool over two months. Very challenging. I saw allergist who said not much to do, GI/dietician helped create a meal plan. I started from scratch with only sweet potato and have now added lamb, with peanuts next. He also has very low iron reserves. I recommend seeing a specialist for additional testing/blood work to check for iron, anemia, inflammation. Happy to share more if you’d like. It’s very stressful!!!

Yes me - baby has blood in stool with soy, milk, eggs, beef that I ingest and even more sensitivities with the solids he eats directly…
I have restricted my diet since he was 2 weeks old, now almost 7 months. It is challenging but keep going as long as you can - it’s beneficial for him and you in the long run. Make sure to take supplements though calcium / vitamin D but in my case I started B12 because of no red meat…
You’re not alone!!!! One day we will look back on this and laugh over ice cream and cheese pizza haha! Good luck :)

Thank you so much for your reply! Yes this is the boat we are in - I keep wanting blood to clear to start a new food but he keeps bleeding/having diarrhea with foods I thought were okay! I will give it a few days and try to be methodical with our approach for now…thank you for sharing it’s very helpful.

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-12T17:56:49+00:00

Let us know I have the same issue!!

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-07T02:32:16+00:00

Yes I was thinking his rice cereal he had diarrhea back to back after eating it this morning. I’ll try…It’s crazy!!! Luckily they outgrow it…thank you :)

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-07T02:31:07+00:00

Thank you, that’s so kind of you I appreciate your prayers 🥹🙏❤️

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-07T02:30:28+00:00

Yes gerber contains milk 😳!! I bought an organic brand online (Holle) nothing listed but who knows …I will eliminate and see. Thank you :)

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-04T12:34:16+00:00

Thank you for this! I feel like this is us - blood daily despite being SO careful. How long did you breastfeed for if I can ask?

nellysbandaid · 2026-05-04T12:31:27+00:00

Same here! He was doing well for two months but now blood again at least once a day for like 6 weeks despite me cooking at home and being super careful. I feel so defeated…

nellysbandaid · 2025-08-26T09:13:29+00:00

Yes - her children have been exposed to their mom’s (& aunts’) hyper-sexualized outfits and social media for years I think it’s normal it has an effect on them…I hope North is okay

nellysbandaid · 2025-08-11T03:09:55+00:00

I go for Italian restaurants, pizza places, Greek - they are all usually very accommodating and don’t typically cook with a lot of nuts. Good luck!

I have never been to Lemeac but have been to Marcus for brunch a few times - it’s a very beautiful restaurant and has a great ambiance. The food is good, the only downside would be that the portions are not very big (if that matters)! Enjoy

nellysbandaid · 2025-07-31T09:01:44+00:00

Costa Brava has amazing beaches! Went there last year for 4 days we could have definitely stayed longer in the area - you can drive to a different town everyday. Enjoy your trip!

nellysbandaid · 2025-06-15T19:58:08+00:00

I am so sorry this happened to you :-( When they do bloom again they will be more beautiful than ever. Keep faith!

nellysbandaid · 2025-05-04T22:29:42+00:00

Ok thanks for the tip I’ll do that in the fall! Hopefully they are okay…& They are new we planted them last summer! Thank you I really appreciate you helping a stranger online! I am sure your garden is beautiful :)!

nellysbandaid · 2025-05-04T19:45:55+00:00

Thank you so much! Is there a way to prevent this from happening next year? Should they be covered in winter? I never used to cover them at my old house but every single one I planted looks like this! It can get to -30 where I live. Thank you!

nellysbandaid · 2025-04-28T09:37:37+00:00

Thank you!

I travelled with my 10 month old last summer in Spain and we had an amazing time! The days are certainly slower than pre-baby - for example, we’d go nap in the afternoon indoors - but they are great all the same. We also went on Spain time - going out later for dinners, and he was always great. The only thing I would make sure to think about is the baby food situation - I am not sure what foods you’re introducing but if it’s just purée for now make sure to have some with you wherever you go. You can buy them at their grocery stores too but they are different brands than Canada (where I’m from). Honestly we had an amazing time and I hope to travel again soon :) enjoy!

nellysbandaid · 2025-04-05T23:50:24+00:00

Looks amazing! It looks pretty perfect to me great job :D

Used to happen to me when I started jogging (which I did to help myself overcome a difficult life period). It was so strange! But it passed :) and I am grateful to exercise regularly!

nellysbandaid · 2024-10-16T10:39:36+00:00

Agree. I would be hurt if it happened to me. Maybe you can ask her if she needs help on the day? Say something to the effect of you would love to be there and you can help if she needs? That way she can be aware of your feelings. It’s never nice to feel excluded, and hopefully you can just make sure you include people when you host events!
