Milk Allergy?

Question

I am breastfeeding and lately my daughters poops have been brown and mucusy. Occasionally she’ll have a green/yellow seedy poop and then it goes back to the brown poop. She’s not constantly pooping so I know it’s not diarrhea. I thought it was protein shakes I was drinking so I cut those out and her poops haven’t changed. How did you know if your breastfed baby had a milk allergy??

Answer

Allergy is an immune response so there will most likely be other signs or symptoms including eczema, vomiting wheezing etc
Intolerance and FPIES are gastric responses which vomiting and diarrhoea. There is obviously overlap the only solution at this point in time to determine if it is, is to go dairy free for a month (takes two weeks to clear your system and then two more to completely clear Bubs system). 
All the best

Answer

I think if you see blood in the stool. But if you are concerned about the nUmber of poop diapers, I would contact the pediatrician
