natasha,
If you still have a neocate prescription get her back on it asap, i am convinced she is cows milk protein intolerant, everything you post is text book. I would also exclude cows milk form her diet, replacing it with neocate. I would be tempted to take her back to a diet of neocate, meat and root veg until you see a consultant, as it will give him a much better place to start and you will get much more instant answers, take lots of pics and video of how she is now so he can see how she was before. Best wishes. Xx

Natasha, that looks really badly bloated.  I thought my LO suffers with a bloated tummy but his is nowhere near that!  Hope you get her sorted soon.

i'd be taking her off dairy completely as Sara has already said. That tummy is very badly distended and to me suggests she is having a reaction to milk. Is she weaning? could there be something else like soya/egg/gluten that could also be affecting her. I would stop all those foods until consultant review and as sara says take lots of videos and pics so they can see what you are telling them about xx

Hi It is very bloated. My DD has coeliac disease and this is what she looked like ( and worse) I always said she looked like an Ethiopian child from TV. Which is exactly why she looked like it cos she was malnourished cos she couldn't absorb the nutrients through the gut wall. Have you been keeping a food and symptom diary? I am having to do this with Joe now - very useful. Poor little love. Good luck x

I agree with the others, Natasha. That looks very bloated. How did you get on yesterday at your appointment? Jen x
