Owen's reflux has been acting up so much again lately and his stools are so mucousy again too, on top of this he has a diaper rash again too. We haven't tried any new foods and I'm thinking about cutting all solids out for a week and start reintroducing them again one at a time. It is just so frustrating to see him in pain and I don't know what is causing this again, he has been so good when we started with the MSPI friendly diet and now we are going downhill again. He is the happiest little guy but at night his reflux flares up and he screams until I give him Mylanta, during the day he screams with every diaper change because it hurts him so bad.
About a week ago I tried carrots but they are still a "no,no" for him since he got a diaper rash with them but since than no new foods and the diaper rash is still there. It gets better and than comes back again.
Do you think it would be worth to try all over again or is there something else that I'm missing :smt100 . If his stools are still like this all weekend I will be at the pediatrics office first thing in the morning and will talk to his ped about this, I'm just getting so frustrated with this. All I want is that he is able to eat like every other child and won't get all those reactions. He loves to eat and gets so mad when he sees big brother eat things that he can't have, it breaks my heart:sob: .
I'm so glat that dh is here for support, he is so great and helps so much. I was really down earlier and crying about his all and he was just there and listened. He even got a bath ready for me and gave me a massage, he is just the greatest.
If you guys have any suggestions, I would love to hear your input. Thanks for all the support.

Forgot to add this: The carrots were in a meal and chunky and they came out the way he ate them undigested. Could this be the reason why he doesn't gain weight? Arrggh, so many ?'s.

**sigh** Melanie, first of all {{big hugs}}:hug: :smt056
I think that it wold definetly be worth a try to see what is causing his reflux to flare up. Is me "maybe" coming down w/something? The reason I ask if because Jackson has had some mucousy stools and I think that Leigh told me that it was because he was getting over an infection.
But, you never know, so I would say, yeah, cut out everything and start all over. It surely can not hurt!:wink:

We went to the doctor on Wednesday and there are no signs of an infection. He wasn't sick before that either, I will try and see how he does on just formula and breastmilk and see if we can find out what is causing this again. Thanks for the hugs Emily.

Melanie..it is definately worth the try..I would do it, that way you can find the culprit?? Good Luck, and hugs to little Owen!

Big hugs to you Melanie :hug: I can totally relate as we have had a lot of problems with solids. Starting over may not be a bad idea. Connor's has been off solids for 2 weeks and has been a different baby. I actually was going to start them up after a week but chickened out. I'm going to pick up some today. Hopefully if Owen is just on formula and breasmilk, his rash will clear up and you can figure out what the culprit is. I know it's so frustrating when they want to eat but it just makes them miserable. Hang in there and keep us posted!
