I know people are going to roll their eyes at me, fine. But I just need to vent.

My son has had diarrhea his whole life. Some days thicker than others. Some just colored water. And there's blood. Some times lots of blood (silver dollar size). Others just dots. It also smells as if something died inside of him. He has seen multiple doctors. He has been on medicine multiple times. I've collected his poop 6x. He's had his blood drawn 4x. Today, I am praying to finally have an answer.
He may have a milk protein allergy, celiac, crohns/other diseases or his C.Dif is just stubborn. All I keep thinking is how a dietary restriction/allergy could change his life. I know it's stupid but I keep crying. How will he handle it when everyone is having cakes or hot chocolate at Christmas (for example) and he can't have? Or he can't eat what's being served at a birthday party. What if he has pain his whole life?
I'm over here crying as he naps.

I am lactose intolerant and have an allergy to the protein; it sucks and lactaid tablets only help half the time when you can only partially solve half the problem. What I found really helps me is soy, almond and coconut milks, vegan cheese (it's not as good but it does get the job done) and I'm not going to lie, I eat ice cream but within 20-30 minutes it's either coming out one end, the other or both (I end up craving it so if I give in and regret it, it's a terrible cycle). The allergy to the protein isn't as bad as the lactose, the allergy I just get light cramping and bloating. Hopefully they can find out what's wrong your baby and you guys can get on the track of eliminating what's causing your poor little baby's tummy to be so tore up

I asked the doctor about that. They said lactaid only works if they're allergic to the milks sugar (lactose) and not the protein 😔 @Valrocks but I'll make sure to ask again if that's what he has, thanks for reminding me. Im hoping he is fine and everything comes back negative

If it's an issue with dairy maybe he could take some lactaid pills before eating cake or having hot chocolate. It helps a bunch.
