Partial vent partial quest for advice! 
I have a DCB(almost 3yrs) that usually never goes BM here but the last week and a half he has had diarrhea daily, at least 4 of these have required a clothing change.
Since before DCB started mom has told me this is an issue with him, he does not have regular BM because of a dairy allergy, but I have never dealt with it until recently. She literally takes him to a new DR monthly (and then several times a month to see new dr) but nothing ever changes apparently. She provides soy milk and he has a whole list of what she calls his "do not feed foods" (cheese, milk, or other dairy products), which I do not give him.
The thing that is starting to irritate me is that he now daily arrives with something for breakfast that is on her "do not feed" list :confused:. Monday cream cheese, Tuesday cheese burrito, Wednesday milkshake (
), today bagel and cream cheese again and apparently they had cheese pizza for dinner. He's always occasionally had dairy at drop off or she'll tell me he's had it the night before, but lately it seem like all she's giving him is dairy. I do usually take what is left and give him something else but recently at drop off there's maybe 1/4 left as he's eaten the rest in the car.
If I'm honest I thought she was lying about this issue as she often gave him dairy and he never had diarrhea or complained of stomach aches like she says he does. Plus monthly he has something new "wrong" with him like celiac disease, Achalasia, Crohns, Gastroenteritis, ulcer.... this list goes on but she always say the Dr's tell her in the end it's just dairy or the Dr didn't know what he was talking about and she finds a new one. Maybe you should stop giving him dairy!!
I'm not sure how to approach this with DCM. When I told her about the diarrhea she just says "yeah that's his stomach thing, I guess he's comfortable here now"
I usually send kids home for diarrhea of this nature (DCB is his usual self so I don't feel there's any underlying illness) but if it's part of an allergy? I can't tell her what she can or can't feed him but I'm not going to keep changing a 3 year old (who's potty trained outside of this diarrhea) because she doesn't want to change his diet. Should i just start sending him home?
