Poop, Nutramigen & Gaviscon

[hulahoop09]

Hiya

Okay so my LO has been on Nutramigen for just over 2 weeks for possible lactose intolerance (I think CMPI). She was on gaviscon aswell but it had made her poop so clay like and getting really constipated that I stopped it and went docs yesterday. Her poops were also green. Today she has had a poop which is sorry TMI crunchy peanut butter like texture but it also seems very mucousy. Is this normal??

Gaviscon usually makes babies constipated. But the mocus in poo can indicate of a problem. Give a call to your Gp if next poo also has mocus.

Mucus is usually indicative of cmpi but if shes been on nutramigen (as are we) then she shouldnt be showing mucus or blood in the stool anymore, or at the least as much. Is this te 1st time shes had mucus? If you need a thickener for your milk, we switched from gaviscon to carobel. Its less chemically but higher sugar in SOME brands. Xx

I noticed something before being on nutramigen but only once and not much but this seemed to be quite a lot slimey. She has blood in her stool before being on nutramigen twice that I noticed. She has been better off the gaviscon now (where as before she was better on it) but the doc has give ranitidine for the silent reflux to try. We have been referred to paeds also.

If its nutramigen lipil it does still contain some milk, albeit very broken down; some babies still react to this and you may need the AA version or neocate xx

BTW I'd say the peanut butter texture is normal but the mucus and blood in the stool definitely is not xx
