It’s been a full 10 months since I last posted on my journey breastfeeding Luke and his diagnosis of milk-soy protein intolerance (MSPI). That post has become one of my most popular and I still get comments and emails weekly from women sharing their stories and looking for answers. Since Luke was 5 months when I wrote that post, it is definitely time for an update.
My last post contained graphic photos of Luke’s stools. This post will not because I find it much more difficult to distinguish between a normal and abnormal stool at this age. How about some cute Luke pictures instead?
First, breastfeeding is still going strong. He doesn’t show any signs of slowing down or wanting to stop, so I’m hopeful we’ll make it to my goal of breastfeeding until he’s 2. Now, let me back up a bit.
Luke was diagnosed with MSPI when he was an infant and I cut out all dairy and soy from my diet. It wasn’t until I also cut out wheat, nuts, and peanuts that his stools became normal (no mucus or blood–see my other post for pictures) so he likely had multiple food protein intolerances.
His doctor was confident, however, that he would outgrow all of his intolerances. She advised me to start trying to add foods back into my diet when Luke was 8-10 months. Anxious to resume to a normal diet, I did a soy trial at 8 months.
It was an obvious fail. Luke’s first dirty diaper after me having one soy latte was explosive. He hadn’t had a blow out in months and this one was massive. Poop everywhere. The mucus returned, he had horrible smelly gas, and the worst night of sleeping of his life. It took an entire month for the mucus to stop showing up in his stools.
So I continued with my diet of no dairy, soy, wheat, nuts, or peanuts for another 3 months. At this point I was really nervous to add foods into my diet, but I knew I had to find out if he was outgrowing his intolerances.
At 10 1/2 months I tried adding nuts. With trepidation, I waited. No issues. His stools (different now since we was on solid food) stayed the same. Sleep stayed the same. I had hope! (And peanut butter back in my life–yay!)
I waited a couple weeks and Thanksgiving was upon us. The perfect time to trial wheat! I happily enjoyed my stuffing, but was still nervous. The last thing I wanted was to cause pain or discomfort to my baby. It went well! Again, his stools, sleep, and mood stayed the same.
It was time to move on to dairy. After a long 10 months without eating any cheese, I celebrated the trial with a cheese pizza. It was the best-tasting pizza of my life. I wish I didn’t like cheese so much.
So what was the result of the cheese trial? Success! At least it seemed that way. I didn’t notice any differences in Luke’s stools or behavior.
At that point I decided to wait to trial soy again. The memories of the trial at 8 months was still fresh and I wanted to enjoy the success we’d had so far.
It was time to let Luke eat some of these foods to see how he’d do eating them directly. Up to this point his solid food diet didn’t contain any wheat, nuts, dairy, or soy, just like my diet had been. When introducing the new foods to Luke, I did the same method as when I added them to my diet, trying one food and then waiting a few weeks before trying the next.
He did fine with wheat and nuts (I gave him some almond milk and a meal with peanut sauce in case you are wondering how I trialed nuts. I obviously didn’t give him whole nuts to eat) so we were off to a good start.
When I gave him some dairy, the waters started getting a little murky. There was a change in his stools, but I couldn’t tell if they were normal or not. There was not obvious mucus, but their consistency changed and they were definitely gooey. I had no idea if this was normal or if it indicated a problem.
Evaluating a baby’s behavior can be tough. Babies get fussy sometimes. I never knew if I should attribute his fussy moods to what he’d eaten or just regular baby stuff like teething or being overtired. Nothing was a clear indicator that he’d failed, yet I wasn’t sure if he was tolerating the dairy or not.
This was around 12 months. I decided to back off on the dairy for a while and try it again in a few months. Around 14 months, we tried it again. This time I gave him cheese three days in a row. His diapers were definitely gooey-er again, but it still wasn’t a clear cut fail.
Another symptom that showed up after the third day of cheese was a runny nose and red cheeks (See the picture below this paragraph). Dairy is very mucus-producing, so I knew that a runny nose could be attributed to eating dairy. I’d also read the red cheeks can be a sign of an intolerance. This was not the first time he’d had the red cheeks, but it was the first time I was sure he’d eaten something that could have caused it. Even though I was still unsure, I decided to back off of the dairy again.
A few weeks later his fifteen month well check was here. I talked with his doctor about it, and she felt confident we should continue trying to see if he tolerated dairy. She said the runny nose (that lasted about a week) could have been a cold or related to teething. She said to continue with the dairy and if there was a questionable stool, to bring his diaper in to be tested for blood.
That day I gave Luke grilled cheese for lunch. The next day, once again, I found myself staring at his dirty diaper trying to figure out if it was normal or not. Isn’t motherhood a glamorous job?
I brought it in to be tested. A few hours later, I got a call from his pediatrician’s office, and his stool tested positive for blood. Boo.
It will be a while before I give him dairy again. The blood showed up after him eating very small amounts, so I feel like his system is still fairly sensitive. His doctor assured me that I can continue eating the foods I’d been eating, and I’m of course hoping she’s right.
You would think this would be the end of the update, but there’s a little bit more. A few days after his stool tested positive for blood, I was out with Meghan and Tim was home with Luke. Tim accidentally fed Luke some bread that had soy flour in it. So we had an unplanned soy trial!
Unfortunately, Luke and soy do not get along at all. This was a clear fail. His diapers had obvious mucus and his mood and sleep were affected for a solid week. He’s just now getting back to my happy little man.
So it looks like I will be living with an MSPI toddler for a longer time. I’m still hopeful he’ll outgrow these intolerances, but only time will tell.
Hi, I have the same question as Melissa (above) -my 6 week old had some green diapers with traces of blood. I cut out dairy, soy, gluten, eggs and nuts 8 days ago. I know that’s not enough time for everything to leave our systems. But diapers went to yellow, back to green w/ blood, then yellow again. In your experience, is it normal for things to be intermittent as foods leave her system or is it a consistent progression?
Thank you so much!!
I did have some intermittent lapses like that, so I think it’s pretty normal for that to happen as the food is leaving baby’s system. Good luck on your journey–I feel for you!
Thank you so much for your response, I am so appreciative!!
This is the first time I’ve read about what I’m facing and the outcome of it. Thank you!
I’ve been off milk (still eating eggs) for about two weeks and eliminated soy protein (not soy oil) for 4 days now. Almost immediately I saw an improvement in the colour but then it reverted back to green explosions again. I fear that if I move to eliminating gluten now, it will be too soon but I can’t help but assume that his poo is still green because of what I’m currently eating and not food that hasn’t yet left my system. Would it not work such that each day the poo looks gradually better if all allergens were successfully eliminated?
Thanks!!
I just wanted to provide an update on what my outcome was. It did seem to be a fairly responsive situation where I saw results in 48 hours on foods I cut out – it may have been as simple as fewer instances of diarrhea in one day for example. We’ve had consistent yellow poo for a short while now. I eliminated all dairy, all soy now, gluten, and nuts. I have to make everything I eat, minus the odd snack food, from scratch now but at least we’re seeing great success. A couple of days ago we saw a slight lapse but the only culprit would be curry or broccoli. Either one seems a bit odd…my other son is quite sick with a flu so it may be as simple as my baby fighting a bug. Time will tell. Next week I’m picking up GutPro to help my baby’s gut flora and possible leaky gut, and begin the healing process. I’m hoping this allows him to have zero allergies as he grows. The stats are dismal on nut intolerances which is scary.
Thanks for the update! I’m hoping he outgrows his intolerances!
Hello! I see this was posted in 2013. Is there an update? How is you’d little man doing?
Currently dealing with elimination diet trying to figure out my babies sensitivities/allergies she’s only 4 mo old.
Luke is now 4 and tolerates all foods! He outgrew the intolerances by around 2 1/2 years old.
my daughter is 6 month old, since she is one month old she have green poops with mucus and once or twice a week blood strikes.
i dont eat dairy / soy / eggs/ fish/ nuts and peanuts and the lest week i stopped with gluten but stile she has blood strikes once a week. i started to introduce her solids , but how can i know if the reason for the blood is my milk or the solids….its so hard.
Gluten takes a long time to clear the baby’s system. Hang in there mama! I know it’s such a difficult road. I would personally would want to wait until the stools were more normal before adding solids, but if your daughter is hungry and needs the solids, it might be hard to hold off. I think if she seems satisfied with just your milk, I’d wait a bit longer for the gluten to clear. Of course, you should always consult with your doctor. Good luck! 🙂
I realize this post is old but I have to comment. Wow, thank you for both of your MSPI posts! I’ve been searching for confirmation of what my mom gut has been telling me… The watery mucus stool pictures are identical to those my six week old son has had since birth.
(Un)Fortunately I have some experience with food allergies with my daughter (now 2.5 yrs). Her stools were normal for a breastfed baby but she developed eczema. At 4 months, her allergy skin test was positive for wheat. I have type 1 diabetes and cutting this out of my diet proved to be a huge challenge with my blood sugar control, I managed one month before binging on bread, but for her it was enough- her eczema improved but never went away. When she was 10 months old grandma made her scrambled eggs for the first time. I decided to feed them to her, big mistake. She became fussy (I figured it was due to the long day and pushing past her bedtime) but after 30 minutes from her meal she projectile vomited and broke out in hives where it hit her skin. At one year her skin test was negative for wheat but positive for eggs and peanuts. She had weaned herself at 12 months, so we just kept these foods out of her diet but carried an Epi pen just in case. At 26 months her blood test was negative for both egg and peanut allergy. Just last week she passed her egg food challenge with flying colors! No reaction. We are waiting until she’s three to trial peanuts. She still has eczema, but it improves in the springtime and is gone during the summer. I’m sure the cause is environmental.
Although the allergy scene is not new for us, the presentation for my son is very different. The fact he’s so young, the insanely long time period that food proteins linger, and my own dietary needs as a diabetic, I know this breastfeeding journey will be a challenging one. thank you again for sharing your experiences and for reminding me to take it one month at a time. Regardless of how we feed our children, the love they receive is the same.
Thanks for sharing your story. Your last line is oh so true!
I have read your blog posts multiple times as I keep searching for poop pics. So glamorous. My daughter is 6 months. I have been off dairy for two months. Her diapers are still often slimy/ mucousy (the GOOD ones look a lot like the last one on your previous blog on this topic) and occasionally green but less explosive and the only obvious blood was before I cut dairy. I have see two pediatricians. One basically thinks I’m fine being just dairy- free (despite questionable stools) … the other wasn’t even convinced that I needed to cut dairy! I’m afraid to add solid foods as it will mess up my diaper analysis. I would willingly cut eggs/ nuts/ soy/ wheat if I knew what might be the culprit. I’m just so anxious and frustrated. The doc is convinced she will outgrow this by 1. Now that it has been some years, do you have any updates or advice?
Luke outgrew all his intolerances by 2 1/2. Unfortunately you don’t know what is causing the problems until you trial a food. It must be so frustrating to not have the support of the pedis you’ve been to. Trust your instincts!
I’m currently going through the same thing! My son is 4 months old. At 2 months we told the doc that we thought he was having reflux. She took a stool sample and informed us that there was microscopic blood in it and had me try cutting out both dairy and soy. We went back two weeks later and there was no blood! Everything seemed better …except the lack of cheese pizza! =)
Two weeks before his 4 month checkup, he broke out in a TERRIBLE rash! I took him into the doc and it turns out it was eczema. She took another stool sample and there was no blood! But two days later I actually saw blood in his diaper! And at the 4 month well check it was also in the stool sample again.
The doc recommended to try formula for 2 weeks while I pumped, but I did not want to do this so she referred me to a GI doctor.
I feel like I’m going to need to try an cut more things out other than the dairy and soy! Do you have any tips on how to succeed with this? I don’t want to give up breastfeeding, but am having the hardest time finding things to eat! I swear I am ALWAYS hungry! 🙁
I know it’s been awhile, but thanks for your post! It’s nice to read about someone else who went through the same thing and was able to continue breastfeeding!
It was definitely not an easy time when I had to cut out so many foods! Here is a look at what I ate in a day when I was breastfeeding and Luke had so many intolerances: https://happyhealthymama.com/2012/10/what-this-breastfeeding-mama-eats-in-a-day.html
I hope that helps you some! I found things I liked and ate them a lot. There’s really not much else you can do. Good luck!
Thank you so much for posting. My son is 5 months old and has had the same mucousy poops, terrible gas, reflux, and wakes hourly at night. My first child did not have these issues. I have been off dairy, wheat, soy, nuts, eggs for one month and my son grearly improved. I had soy sauce last and all of his symptoms came back. I sure appreciate you sharing son’s story and the poop. It’s reassuring someone else has been through the similar issues and had success.
Wow, just stumbled upon your blog while looking up my babies food intolerances. He is nearly 6 months and I have been off all dairy and wheat for 5 1/2 of those months (he is fully breast fed). To start with he was ha I g about 12 foamy mucousy stools a day, as well as lots of wind and stomach cramps. I cut out dairy and gluten and his tummy settled (though not what I would say ‘normal’ in comparison to his 3 siblings) after about 4 weeks. I tried some gravy and that set him off so gluten definitely out. Fool I am I had about 10 quality street just before Christmas, over 2 days, and we had blood and mucous in the nappies, so dairy still out. I drink soy milk and he seems to be fine with that. Yesterday I gave him some mango mixed with rice, he has been eating vegetables and chicken and apples and pears for the last week with no problems. He loves food. Today he has pooed 7 times by early afternoon with lots of mucous again. Looks like mango is out. We are big fruit eaters in our house so I’m hoping this doesn’t follow on to any other fruit. I’m continuing with. Feast feeding but I would love a pizza, or a big piece of chocolate cake. Thanks for sharing Luke’s journey
You’re welcome, Lynette. I hope your little guy outgrows his intolerances!
Thank you so much for writing about this! I haven’t really met any other moms who have babies with the protein intolerances. Jimmy, my son, is 9 months and still wakes up every 2 hours to eat. I’m exclusively pumping, breastfeeding was a fail for us, and I’m on a restrictive diet free of egg, dairy, soy, and nuts. Jimmy screamed whenever he was awake as a baby and had the diapers with mucus and blood. After reading your post, I’m realizing that although he is blood free, his diapers are still full of mucus and his sleep is horrible so I might have to cut out wheat or fish again. How was introducing solids for you? Whenever I give Jimmy solid food, he cries through the night :(.
Introducing solids was a slow process. It upset Luke a lot when we first started, but we took it very slow and eventually his body got used to it. I think their digestive systems are much more sensitive than the average baby, so it takes some extra time for them to adjust to solids in their diet. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. I know how hard it is, especially when you’re sleep deprived. 🙁
hi maryea,
My baby had bronchitis at 7 weeks, then at had seeping eczema which he got prescribed antibiotics for ..his first dose of antibiotics was at 3 months, and then at 4 months ,was wondering if that could of started his allergy!
Also on. Another note I’m a poop inspecter as a breastfeeding mum is, and for months I would tell my dr his poop is mucusy and he would say it’s normal, then the blood started to appear… And I nearly fainted! As I’m one of those mums that carries her thermometer around and always gets accused of “looking for something to be wrong” which isn t the case just believe in trying to prevent. Or get scared to overlook things, I don’t want baby to suffer in anyway…. Sorry anyhow…finally I went to ped and I’m off dairy but nothing else and also was told to start solids- baby was 5months at time but waited a bit longer, I’ve started him on fared only a spoonful but the blood used to appear at night (3am) now it’s more consistent even with dairy cut out- until reading your post and realising gratefully that all the pics I have taken documenting his first bloody poo, no one mentioned cutting out anything else I’m going to try cutting out wheat nuts and whatever I have to as the doctors don’t seem very helpful and I knew all along gut feeling something is wrong but because he has been putting on weight and doesn’t scream from pain no one listens and think I’m overreacting- what my dr said to me the other day… My question is that my ped wants to do a prick test, is this normal procedure…. Sorry for beating around the bush but I truly felt I was all alone….. Thus the time and sleepless nights worrying…good luck to all the mums out there…
My 4 month old started having green mucousy stools so I eliminated dairy and soy from my diet. His stool has changed from green to orange, but still very mucousy. Should I cut out wheat next, or give it more time? It’s been over a month without dairy and about a week without soy. Just wondering if the transition to orange means we are on the right track, even if they have the same amount of mucous. I don’t eat any nuts because my older child is highly allergic and we are a nut free home.
I would probably wait a few more weeks before I eliminated wheat. It sounds like you are on the right track! If the mucous continues after that, then I’d try to eliminate wheat and eggs.
Maryea, thank you so much from the bottom of my heart for sharing your story. In January I had my first daughter. She was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy around 3 months or so. She is now 8 months old. As advised by her GI doctor we gave her yogurt at 6 months with no reaction. Then we tried again at 8 months. No real reaction. (the fussiness side affect I hadn’t known about, but that could be one for her). Her GI/nurses are a nightmare to talk to. They told me to try yogurt 3 days in a row. I asked when I could add things back into my diet, we are going out of the country next month and it will be a lot harder to hold to my restricted diet eating at buffets, and she said not until a year! I knew I had read other people adding things back in earlier. What is easier for lo’s to tolerate? Dairy/Soy/Eggs?
Unfortunately, I think it really varies by child and is a lot of trial and error to find out. I had heard that soy was easier to tolerate than dairy, but Luke didn’t do well with his first soy trial at all. Good luck–I hope you are able to eat more during your travels!

The prick test to test his iron? That is normal, especially for a baby who has blood in stool which could lower iron counts. I’m glad you are following your gut! We have to be our baby’s first advocate.
Thank you for replying! Hope your lil man is much better… I’m distraught, the rest is an allergen test to test for allergies? Did you have to do that? I’m so scared that it took so long undiagnosed that all that mucusy pooh and blood has done internal damage:( thank you for putting your story out there, and for helping so many others in the sane boat!
I didn’t do an allergy test. Our doc said that we were most likely dealing with an intolerance, not an allergy (she was right), and that an allergy test wouldn’t tell us anything. She said they were very inaccurate under age 2.
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve read these posts. My Luke was diagnosed with MSPI at 6 weeks after a diaper full of blood (yep, not streaks or micro, but red liquid)! I eliminated dairy and all soy, and we’ve kept it under control. Introduced solids at 6 months (homemade veggies and fruit). He had two projectile vomiting episodes after eating avocado, so we cut that out. Then, I had one bite of some Indian food with soy in it – obvious fail. Explosive diapers. Then, after his next meal with solids (sweet potatoes and broccoli) he started projectile vomiting and it didn’t stop (ER visit). We thought sweet potatoes and broccoli were safe foods as he had then many times before with no reaction. Maybe the failed soy trial weaken his system? Anyway, we’re 7 months and off solids for a while. Waiting to see the GI doctor (pediatrician not helpful). Really comforting to read about your experience.
Oh man I am so sorry you are having such a tough time! Hang in there and I hope it gets better soon!
Thanks for sharing your journey! My 3 months old son had mucous and blood (sometimes visible, sometimes microscopic tested by our dr) in his stool and I have started a dairy free soy free diet but he seemed to have gotten worse (I ate more coconut, nut, and wheat during that time), so now I am also cutting out wheat, nuts, egg and seafood. However I still take my DHA but will be switching my calcium supplements that doesn’t have soy. This is definitely not easy and a bit stresssful since we all thought breast feeding is best for the baby. Our GI Dr suggested we can try hypoallergenic formula if we wanted but they all contain soy oil so if we do it we will only try a little bit. we hope to be able to find out what combination of foods he cannot tolerate or eventually he can out grow it. It’s nice to know there are other mothers out there with the similar situation. today our son had yellow mustardy poop without visible blood that wasn’t too watery or mucousy – I hope that means we are on the right track!
Good luck, mama, you are definitely not alone!
Just wanted to give kudos to you for keeping up with breastfeeding despite so many challenges. Kinda wondering what you did eat – nursing can make a mama hungry ! Anyways, I hope your handsome little dude’s dietary restrictions have gotten (or will get better).
Here’s a post I did showing what I ate in a day while I was breastfeeding Luke: https://happyhealthymama.com/2012/10/what-this-breastfeeding-mama-eats-in-a-day.html
Luke is 3 1/2 now and has outgrown all of his intolerances! 🙂
It sounds like my 3 month old daughter might have the same thing as your son and I was wondering what foods were ‘safe’ to eat in the beginning? Could you eat carrots, use spices, eat lettuce etc?
Right now all I eat is turkey, pears, rice, potatoes, and squash. Her stools are finally getting more normal looking and less have less mucus, and I would like to add different foods back into my diet (especially veggies).
Thank you for any tips!!!
[email protected]
I didn’t restrict any vegetables and his stools eventually became more normal. As far as I know, no vegetables bothered his system.
My daughter was diagnosed with a milk protein allergy at 7 months. It has definitely been a long road! Her pediatrician has recommended trying dairy at 12 months then 18 months and 24 months. Each time she would still have a reaction (red rash on face, diarrhea, stomach pain). I decided I would not even keep trying until another year went by, at least. Until she went to my mother’s and ate BUTTER BREAD! Why no one gets this allergy I eill never know. Anyways…she had no reaction at 26months. Only two months after I last tried. So the next day she had a small amount of string cheese…someone who’s mouth would turn red from a food just touching cheese, had no reaction! I was so excited but after 2 years I thought ut was too good to be true. For 2 weeks now we are slowly adding sone dairy to her diet although I will continue the almond milk. I was told most children outgrow this after a year so I never thought this day would come. Hang in there mom’s!
Hello Maryea. Do you have a blog with what foods you do have in your diet? I have found my 4 month old has a dairy and possibly soy intolerance. Now I am wondering about wheat and nuts. I want to start with a clean slate so I can figure out what, if any, other intolerance he has.
I don’t have a post that specifically lists every food I had in my diet, but here is a look at what I ate in a day on this diet:
https://happyhealthymama.com/2012/10/what-this-breastfeeding-mama-eats-in-a-day.html
I hope this helps!
Hi all, I was wondering if any of you noticed the change in your babies behaviour / stool after their first immunisation shots at 6 weeks old?
My wee girl had hers a few weeks ago now and reacted not so good for two weeks, during that time her stools turned green with mucus, no blood. She is a very happy baby and sleeps well, other than the poo, red checks that flare up every now and then and watery eyes you wouldn’t know she was unwell. I must say though her poos are explosive and we go through atleast 2-3 sets of clothing a day.
The pictures you posted are almost identical. the doctors suspect that she is dairy intolerant so like many of you I am starting the slow illumination diet to try figure out what foods trigger her off. Have any of you had actual food allergy tests done on your baby?, like hair follicle? Any advise would be appreciated.
We didn’t notice a distinct change after any vaccines. We also didn’t have the food allergy testing done. My doctor told me that it was most likely a food intolerance and not an allergy, so it wouldn’t show up on a test. Good luck!
My daughter had shots at her 2 month appointment (Tdap and Rotavirus). It was after that we noticed green mucus poops. At first we thought it was a reaction to the vaccines, but later she was diagnosed with a milk and soy protein intolerance. She was having flecks of blood as well. It truly seemed like the vaccines were the catalyst, but it’s hard to know for sure. I’ve been off dairy and soy about 5 months and that really helped her poop. However, when we began introducing solids at 6 months her poop took another dive into green mucus land (no blood). I thought it was due to a virus because she was sick with a cold around the same time, but here we are 2 months later and it’s still bad. Now I’m feeling like I have to start completely over with introducing solids. I’m hoping the GI doc can give me some advice. I’m thinking I might continue an elimination diet for myself and also wonder about allergy testing. I know some vaccines have allergenic ingredients so I wonder about that too. Good luck!
My son’s doctor advised that allergy testing is not accurate when they are babies. I hope you figure it out–I know how frustrating it is!
