My 9 year old has suffered ibs like symptoms since he was tiny (maybe from birth, really). He's been seeing the Paediatrician since he was 2. Various tests have been done (negative for Coeliacs - blood test only) and no answers found. He's had no treatment or management suggested. We tried dairy free for two years, which helped for a while but the symptoms steadily returned. He has extremely explosive diahorrea at the end of each day. I'm scared of going gluten free, but I feel like we have to try something.
However, he doesn't like lots of the gf staples and likes lots of gluten full stuff. He doesn't like potatoes (except chips, wedges and occasionally mash). He loves pasta, breakfast cereal and bread, as well as chocolate. He'll eat eggs scrambled and hard boiled, but in no other form.
Can anyone suggest meals, including breakfast, that will be tasty and appealing? I don't want him to feel like he's being punished for having a dodgy stomach .
