What Causes Blood In Stool?
My daughter just turned one, her poo is very snotty and sometimes has a little blood in it. Her poo was tested for any infections but they said nothing was wrong. I breastfed her until about 7 months then she was on soy formula, it seemed to be fine after that so i thought it was an allergy with my breastmilk. Now shes on whole milk and it started again. I told her doctor and he acted like its normal. I said should i switch her to soy milk and he said no. Ok so im clueless on whats going on. Please help.

HI...by what you quote there are two possibilities here -
1. Cows milk protein allergy - uncommon at this age.
2. Acute bacillary dysentery - common at this age.
My suggestion - Stop all cow's milk products and go lactose free in her diet and in 1 week you see any difference - that means it confirms the diagnosis of cow's milk protein allergy and you need to re-administer cow's milk products after 3 more months and see again.
