This is sounding much more serious than self-futzing with breastmilk, formula, and sugar-water can solve. Are there incomplete forms of galactosemia? Michelle Flutist |

I do think you should try everyone else's suggestions, but I don't see
why in the meantime you couldn't ask for some further testing. I have a friend whose baby was unable to tolerate breastmilk. I cannot remember the name of the specific disorder (begins with a p!), but the only thing her baby could eat was an extremely expensive formula that comes from England. Even now, at the age of almost 4, he can eat very few solids. Chances are your baby has nothing like that, but there are tests they can do to find out whild you pursue other avenues. Leslie |

But before you jump through those hoops, I'd have her physically checked for any problems with his rectum. If the blood is bright red, it's new, so it's happening relatively close to the exit, right? Does she have diaper rash? Yes, he has diaper rash with the yeast infection. That's why we are also thinking about yeast causing a problem in the colon. However, we spoke with 3-4 doctors and all thought that it wasn't possible or is very unlikely... Couldn't find much about a problem like that on the internet either. Any thoughts / experience on that? |

It could contain wheat, which is a common problem. Note also the whole wheat rice above... I don't think there is any such thing as whole *wheat* rice. I think what he meant is brown, unrefined rice. -- Be well, Barbara |

My first thought was galactosemia, actually, but there might be other similar disorders as well. Did this baby have the PKU test that is commonly done in the States yet? If not, I think that would be a good place to start in tracking down the issue. -- Be well, Barbara |

thanks for the hint we are going to see pediatrician today and will ask
him for PDU. We are from Canada, and he had some blood tests done when he was born but don't know what kind of tests. Circe wrote: "Michelle J. Haines" wrote in message ...

I discarded PKU as my understanding was that it was mostly asymptomatic in the early days, which is why it is so important to test. But I do think that a thorough medical exam and testing would be appropriate. Anne |

Leslie, would that be PKU phenyketonuria (or something!). I found a really interesting article on that about a mum who was so determined to get the best out of breastmilk that they partially breastfed, continually monitoring the level of whatever it was that was the problem. The baby did really well, presumably because of all the good stuff in the breastmilk that wouldn't be in the very restricted formula they would have had. Anne |

thanks for great ideas and leads, we are going to doctor today and I
will discuss all this with him. we will post later today. Leslie, my wife was eating chicken and then we read that chicken can be cause of the allergy so we switched to lentils. Any good idea what protein rich food is the least risky? Milan |

The test typically called the PKU in the States also screens for a number of other metabolic disorders, as I understand it. I don't know what all of them are. -- Be well, Barbara |
