Here's some ideas for kid friendly foods that might help. Try Jenni O Turkey hot dogs the whole family likes them.
There are soy cheese sticks I found them at the grocery store. Let him eat soy delicious ice cream.
Yogurt is good as well. Be sure to look for live active culture on the label. Note yogurt has a binding effect so don't eat to much!! You can make home made mac & cheese with soy cheese. Make hamburgers out of lean ground turkey. Home made potato fries that are baked not fried are really good. (My son likes Sweet Potato fries.) Make home made muffins for sweet snacks. I found soy milk in the pint conatiners. That would be good for a lunch box. We found turkey ham at Wal Mart, it tastes o.k.

Once you learn the boundaries of eating safely you will find that your kid will be at ease with his food limitations. If you came to dinner at my house you would not notice that we are eating a primarily souluable diet.

This is how we manage the dinner table as my husband has IBS_D. We base all of our family meals around what dad can eat. Veggies and other not so safe foods are served on the side instead of mixed in with the dish that is served.
All desserts, snacks are made or based with safe ingredients. I hope this helps a little, Michaela
