From green to yellow, but still mucus-y...
I've been dairy-free for a week now. I'm taking this as a positive sign, even though he's still very fussy (that hasn't improved at all).
Does anyone know why we might still have mucus?

It takes a while to get everything out of your system, then a little longer to get it out of baby's system, then a little longer for everything to heal! We had mucous disasters for about two months after I went dairy and soy free... we're only just now getting curds and unscented poops and I've been clear since early December.
Edit: I typed "mucous diapers" but it autocorrected to "disasters". I'm leaving it. :)
Good to know - I figured it would take a little while, but I'm very encouraged by the results so far. Out of curiosity, do you have any opinions on probiotics or lactase enzyme drops? We start daycare next week, so I'm fairly desperate :/
We got a sample of some Gerber probiotics that I gave him but I didn't notice a difference. Granted, it was only a weeks worth... I hear they help but we didn't bother at the time.
I sort of tried them, but it didn't really seem to help. I wasn't really great at being consistent giving them to him though. Some people swear by them.
Hopefully it's just dairy, and it will all clear out soon for you!
