suggestions?

I am at my wits end with my son's bloating. I have pulled almost

everything out of his diet trying to figure this out. The scenario

is this - he wakes up and his belly is just fine. He eats and

within a few hours he is bloated and I cannot figure out what is

causing it. I have pulled out all supplements. Today I added

digestive enzymes to see if that would help, but it didn't. The

past several days he wakes up (with a flat belly) for breakfast he

eats 2 popscicles made with well cooked purreed acorn squash, well

cooked purreed peaches, well stewed purreed prunes, coconut oil.

About two hours later, his belly is bloated. Bloating aside, his

behavior is really great and he has been making wonderful progress,

but this bloating is driving me nuts. It has to be a food issue

(rather than yeast or bacteria) because there is a correlation to

eating and when it appears. We've been detective-izing for weeks

and it does not seem to make any difference what he eats, it's just

always the same, wake up fine, eat and be bloated the rest of the

day. Currently, the only other things in his diet besides the

popscicles are cooked carrots, cooked peas, hamburger, boiled

chicken, a little honey. He is 2 1/2 and has been SCD for almost 5

months.

Thank you!!!!

Hi ,

Besides the bloating how are his bowels? What are the frequency of

bm's? Are you using epsom salt baths and/or activated charcoal -

they may help with the gas.
