I haven't posted much on my son's condition because it hadn't changed that much until this week. For once, his stomach discomfort is now down to almost a zero. He's been able to do PE without having terrible stomach cramps. Instead of coming in close to last in the mile run, he has been coming in second place. His stool coloring is almost normal so I am thinking, perhaps, he is coming out of whatever flare up he had.
For dinner I made Easy Pork Stir Fry with Peanut Mole Sauce. Definitely could have caused Andy major problems. Pork has a lot more fat in it than chicken. There was tomato sauce and cocoa too. He had this meal for two days and had absolutely no problems. I'm still holding my breath and don't know if I'm going to try him on dairy. I think it would probably be healthier to eliminate dairy for good.
My son and I discussed that we should still try to maintain a low-fat diet although it won't have to be as restrictive as it's been. But mainly what my son wanted was to be able to go out with friends, eat pizza , hamburgers, drink pop and be just a kid without worrying that his GI system might go berserk. I am hopeful that he will get his wish soon.

Too much , too soon
I was up half the night with my son. He was having a bad night. I am not going to discount the diet yet but I was introducing many foods to him at once and that might have been part of the problem.
This is the longest he has gone with a flare-up and I'm beginning to feel the stress. I can't even imagine how parents can deal with a seriously ill or chronically sick child. I feel like we are going to have to take him in for more serious testing just to make sure it is the IBS. I am concerned about his nutrition because he's had to cut out everything. I have him on vitamins, trying to get him to take pedialyte. He hates it. I am going to look for the probiotics that another blogger had suggested in a previous post. At this point, I am trying every avenue.
On top of that, things I ordered (decorations) for the wedding shower that I am going to be doing are on back order. I still have a few weeks . I am also doing a scrapbook for the bride's mother. I only have 2 months to get it done and ordinarily it would have been a pleasure to do it but under these circumstances, it's going to be hard to put my heart into it.
