Hi-
I just discovered this site today. What a wealth of info!

My 10-year-old son has been diagnosed with possible IBS/functional abdominal pain. He doesn't fit the Rome criteria, because he has no diarrhea or constipation, just constant abdominal pain for six weeks. It started suddenly one day and has not gone away. He's had a million tests including an upper GI series w/ barium and a gastroscopy/colonoscopy; everything turned up negative. He has been on Zantac, Prevacid, and just started on Bentyl.

My question: would Heather's diet work for him to ease his pain, or since he has normal BM's, would this be a useless approach?

Any thoughts would be welcomed. We are all exhausted and stressed; he has missed about a month of school and hasn't slept through the night in weeks due to the pain.

Thanks, zebras
