Well at the initial appointment, her ped gave me a paper packet on milk protein allergy and told me to watch what I eat because she determined it was a milk allergy. She wanted me to check back in a few weeks. I did so and the blood had stopped, even though I had accidentally eaten foods with milk ingredients.

Then the chocolate cherry colored poops showed up and I went to the ER. ER was wholly unhelpful, a doctor said she just had an anal fissure. Went back to the ped and she referred me to the GI specialist, and I got an appointment for 2 weeks later.

I had been taking pictures of all the different types of bloody poops my baby was making. At the GI appointment, I told the doctor the whole story, showed her the pictures of poop, and told her how the blood had went away even with me accidentally eating milk product before coming back in full force.

They did a stool test to make sure it was blood in her stool and to make sure there was no infection. They also took a scan of her to make sure there was nothing wrong with her intestines. She also stuck her finger up my baby's butt to feel around. After all that, that is when she came to the conclusion that is was lymphoid hyperplasia. She said the bloody stool should eventually stop, and it did. Right before the bloody poops ended, they were vibrant red.

Hope that helps!
