After a little checking winter squash looks like a good substitute for

rice when looking at comparable carbohydrates (~30g of carbs in 1 cup

of cooked winter squash, ~37g in (SCD illegal) cooked rice). If you

add a little honey to the squash it ups the carb content.

What symptoms does your son have?
