How do you tell if your baby is allergic or intolerant to
something?
Usually, you will not see a quick, visible response to a formula or food.
Instead, you will not see eczema or another skin rash, fussiness, loose stools
hard stools, or blood in the stool
In the case of celiac disease, which is an intolerance to
grain protein gluten not a true allergy you might see diarrhea, smelly stools,
irritability, and poor weight again.
Allergy testing can be done in babies. At this age, a
negative result doesn’t tell you much either way, but a positive result likely
indicates a real allergy (as opposed to tests done at age four, when a negative
result Is likely real, and a positive result may only indicate a possible
culprit). There is also specific testing for celiac disease.
If you think your baby may have an allergy,
consult your health
