Have you considered giving digestive enzymes for the stomach pains. Our

daughter had a lot of stomach pains (from gas) too until we started the

digestive enzymes. We saw immediate improvement.

She complains alot of stomach pains. I give her colace because she

seems constipated but I don't know what else to do for her. She just

doesn't feel good sometimes and I know it's because of the diet.

Remember that your changing Karley's whole metabolism. That's pretty tough

on our little ones. literally cried for the first 2 weeks. I didn't

think we would make it. But then he adjusted and has been fine (better

actually) ever since. I'm with Rhona about the digestive enzymes. We haven't

been using them with lately, but we started about a month into the diet

and I felt like it was very helpful. Now his body seems used to all the fat,

but I think he was very uncomfortable in those initial few weeks. We used

suppositories with when we were really worried about constipation. Also

a little original flavor Milk of Magnesia every day can help as well. I

swear, it wasn't until just a few weeks ago that I've finally felt stable

and comfortable with the diet and it's been 5 months!

How long have you been doing the diet? It's hard for me to remember since

you were around for awhile before Karley started the diet.
