Diaper Rash and Bloating Photos

Barrett never got this kind of rash until about a month ago. It seems to be related to either soy or corn. It is usually accompanied by the burn rash but this one tends to spread up his back and down his legs a little. It doesn't seem to bother him at all though.
Sometimes the rash spreads to his legs if the BMs are large and the diaper chafes his legs. His legs then swell up so we have to cut off the edges of the diaper or fold them under.

This is what the burn rash usually looks like. Sometimes it is so bad he actually bleeds.
Barrett's stomach often bloats after eating "illegal" foods. Around his belly button he normally measures 19" but when he bloats it is usually close to 20". It's hard to tell in this picture but the bloating usually occurs right under his ribs. his ribs actually get pushed out a little bit and it makes him look like an Ethiopian child.

My Daughter gets a bloated stomach and a rash on her face. We put e45 cream on it and it fades but never goes completely.

Her BM are not regular and they are sticky.

I had hoped that all 2year olds are slightly bloated but now im not so sure.
