You don't happen to have any pets do you? It turned out they were allergic to our cat's hair. It wasn't something that affected our other kids, just them. We kept the cat well away but it didn't stop the skin rashes so eventually we had to get rid of the cat and hey presto the rashes cleared up virtually overnight.

Get to the doctor and refuse to leave until you are referred to a Paediatric Gastroenterologist

We had similar issues with Littler and once we had the diagnosis and got dairy elminated it was a complete change

I hope you get someone to listen to you soon, it sounds like you need proper advice, not fobbing off. I always say as a mum you should trust your instinct.

I think you should follow your instinct and book another gp appointment and insist they run some tests. Hope they listen to you this time. You've both had it tough.

If they can't give an answer that suits the masses they don't care. Snafflesmummy suggest a different type of milk that might work? Also didn't tattoedmummy say somthing about a floppy windpipe or something that could also explain if he is having difficulty swallowing and breathing. I really hope you find someone to listen soon.
