How to Rule Out What Baby Is Allergic To!

My second daughter has been to the doc a billion times it seems like and she is only 7 1/2 months old! I feel like I live at the doc office! We have been though the changing of the formula and she is on a no milk protien one because doc thinks she is allergic. Well lately she has had a rash on her back at night time, faded in morning, that are like little raised pimples and white heads. I don't know if this is a sign of her maybe being allergic to something she is eating? She has always spit up so I can't go by that, but she is a little constipated too, I just don't know what is doing that!
Now, the question is do I call the doc again, can they do anything? I am writing down everything she eats for the day and noting if the rash is there that night or not. Should I do that maybe for a week and then call? I just don't know! Help moms!!

What can I do next?

My DS one morning woke up with a bad rash on his back, arms, stomach and I freaked out. I took him to the Dr. and he thought it could be the detergent we were using or his bath soap (I was solely brest feeding). He said he could have become allergic to it even though he hadn't been before. We changed soaps and detergents and that didn't help. Then one day it just occurred to me about a week later that my DH had opened up a package of brand new onesies, didn't wash them and put them directly into my DS dresser drawer.

Oddly enough, that is what it was. He was allergic to the onesies but after we washed them, he was fine. Stranger things have happened =-)

However, my DS also has eczema too.

M.,

Your daughter has issue with her digestion. Her immune system appears compromised as well. It has to start with her digestive system. This two product can be helpful for her.

Ultimate Aloe Juice mixed with digestive enzyme.
This will give her the micronutrients and also help her digest whatever food she has trouble with. This also helps her little body to gently detox.

Aloe will also help get rid of her constipation issue as well.

At 1 year old we ended up having my son allergy testes because we too lived at the doctor his first year, he would get rashes, exzema, redness on his face-all sort of fun stuff. We found out he was allergic to everything but after going to a nutritionist they said to slowly start elliminating certain foods to find the cause-it ended up being eggs and that helped-he is now 3 and all of the weird rashes/skin stuff is gone. I know yours is on 7.5 months, but maybe they can do an allergy test so you can elliminate stuff-I would try to do food and environmental if possinbe at her age. I know how frustrating it is and its really hard, but once you find a source it makes it a little easier.

I would maybe just bring her to an allergy doctor. My son, who at the time was 5, was having trouble with coughing all the time. So I took him to an allergy/asthma dr. They did the prick test on his back and it comes to find out he is allergic to weeds and soy. Which is very weird because soy formula is the only one he could tollerate. He also does an inhaler now to help with cough and it helps tremendously!

Good Luck.
