Hi

For the past 4 weeks now my son has been suffering from a very gurgly stomach, a skin rash which mainly appears on his cheeks and back, very bad wind (the bottom variety) and he is crying and quite often, screaming, nearly all the time, especially at night.

His first 3 months were completely different. The first month he suffered from mild colic but that cleared up around 6 weeks and he was a very happy baby until he was around 13 weeks.

I am wondering whether he might be allergic to something that I am eating and he is getting through my breast milk. I have looked on the internet and his symptoms suggest a dairy intolerance.

Does anyone has any experience of this and if so, how can you tell exactly? I have started to cut out dairy products from my diet to see if that makes a difference.

Many thanks
Vicki
