My ds had terrible colic as a baby and since then (he's now nearly 2) has had a constant swollen stomach (hard to the touch) that is very painful and sometimes wakes him up, constant dioreah (sp?) and constipation, and terrible wind.
as a result of this he is very funny about eating.
Drs aren't interested at all. It's been suggested by several people that I try taking him off wheat.
The problem is a lot of the foods he will eat are wheat based and the only other thing he will eat is fruit and ricecakes.
He has recently started drinking milk and I am gradually increasing this (now on about a pint and a half per day) so that if he doesn't eat he is getting something.
Any advice? Would a diet based around milk, ricecakes and fruit be balanced enough? I want to be prepared as I know if he doesn't get food he likes he just won't eat.
Just looking for someone with experience in this really.
