I would love to find a way to help my son. He's had irritable bowel and
lactose intolerance problems since he was three. Thank goodness I breast
fed him till he was 2 years 4 months. He tried adding fiber supplements
but that didn't help at all. He eats the typical American diet but does
do more fresh food and sushi than most. He was tested by a
gastroenterologist when in junior high school to be sure it was irritable
bowel syndrome. He's using so much Immodium, but that is the only thing
that helps him. He said he gets pain so severe that he can't walk upright
and breaks out in a sweat. One website says one should eat vegan, the
other says one should mostly eat raw meats. Surely there's something in
between that makes more sense.

Pat,
There's a very high possibility that he could have celiac disease with these
symptoms.
My sister suffered for years with IBS. I finally talked her into going
gluten free which she did for a month, then complained to me that it wasn't
helping.
That same day she ran into an old friend at the health food store and was
advised to continue wheat/gluten free diet and add probiotics and one garlic
capsule a day.
Within 3 days her symptoms completely cleared up.
She continued this for 3 more months, then took a vacation to Ireland. She
told me in advance there was no way she was staying gluten free with the
breads in Ireland.
After she was there for 3 days she stopped into an internet cafe, and sent
me just this message, "It's the wheat--oh boy, is it ever the wheat!"
She stays on a gluten free regimen *most* of the time, but if she falls off
the gluten wagon she pays almost an instant price with the return of IBS.
Here are a few sites you could peruse:

My best healing wishes to your son,
Sharon
