Is Tyler cutting any molars?

I ask this because my son had the symptoms you are describing during every
teething session of his molars.  The smaller teeth didn't cause the problem,
but the larger teeth really affected him.  The day after his teeth came in, the
symptoms would disappear.

The best thing we found for the rash was scorched flour.  I got this recipe
from my pediatrician:  Put dry flour into a skillet and brown it.  Then use it
as a powder.  It sticks to the skin better than any other powder, and did help
the diaper rash.

Just another data point.  I still think you should pursue further testing of
food allergies/intolerances.  I still test negative on a skin test for dairy,
but if I ingest dairy, my asthma flares and my throat swells.

Good luck with Tyler!
