3 Year Old Child, Foul Smelling Rusty Stools With Mucus. IGE Test Done, Dairy High, Gluten Elevated. Advise?
Hi - my 3 year old has battled with very orange/rust looking stools since she stopped breast feeding at 15 months old. She also occasionally has mucous in her stools. Finally, her stools tend to be very foul smelling. I have removed all dairy from her diet and had her taking a children's probiotic from Klaire Labs for almost 5 months. I haven't really noticed any improvement. She has been tested for allergies and none found. However, she also had an IGe test for food sensitivities and found dairy to be pretty high and gluten to be a little elevated. Do you have any thoughts on what my next steps might be with her? Are there other tests I should request from my pediatrician?
