"About fiber, so far just trying to increase fruit and veggie intake."
Spend some more time around here, or pick up IBS The First Year, and really familiarize yourself with the difference between soluable and insoluable fiber. Fruits and Veggies can be a great source of both, but you initially want to make sure he is getting plenty of soluable fiber -- it should be the base of every meal -- and limited insoluable fiber (just enough so that he doesn't get C). It's a tricky, delicate balance but you will get the hang of it. Soluable Fiber Supplements have been so helpful to many of us, so I hope you'll consider those.
Stick around, and keep asking questions. Hope your son feels better soon!
