i've had ibs since i was about 6 or 7, although we think it might have been since birth as i was a very colicky baby. anyway, it's great that he's diagnosed & you've come here to get some support. one of the best things about heather's stuff (the books are fantastic) is that food can be really fun and yummy without creating problems afterwards. i think a good 12-year old meal would have to be home-made pizza. no cheese, no red meat, just take a pizza base, add tomato paste, maybe some chicken/turkey/roast vegies & whatever other non-dairy, non-red meat things he likes & hopefully that'll be a way of showing that eating variations of old favourites can be quite good too. just a quick caveat, not everyone can tolerate all foods, but red meat & dairy are big triggers, so cross fingers that something like that pizza will be ok. the recipe index should also give you some pointers.
