worse off dairy??

[Guest guest]

My 2 1/2 year old has had loose stools with mucous and infrequent

traces of blood for a year now. She was diagnosed with IBD and she's

now on meds, which don't seem to be doing anything. I still question

the dx. Anyway, I keep thinking about this diet, but I'm saving it

for a last resort! My kid is picky enough!

Here's my question...I recently took her off dairy for the third time

for a trial. She was dx with a mild milk allergy last year. However,

each time I take her off, she worsens. Her stools are looser, more

frequent and I notice more blood. She doesn't even eat a ton of dairy

products since she drinks soy milk. So now she's without her yogurt

and her occasional cheese (as well as the dairy in bread products). I

give her acidophillus powder as a supplement since I know yogurt may

have been helping her. I just don't understand why she'd worsen with

the diet change! Any thoughts? It would be greatly appreciated!
