Slippery Elm (inner bark, powdered) is very soothing to the intestines and also healing. You can buy it at a health store that carries herbs or order it in bulk online. Mix approximately 1 heaping teaspoon in a glass of water and mix it in. It thickens like Metamucil, but is healing, not irritating. Can take as much as is tolerated. I would take 3 or 4 times a day between meals or more often if desired.
Keep away from any allergy foods like milk and milk products since he is allergic to it. Don't eat irritating foods with a lot of roughage, at least for a while. Some other foods like acidic fruits, tomatoes and citrus may be irritating, at least initially. Eat foods like cooked oatmeal etc. Take the Slippery Elm bark and let the intestines calm down. Wean off the Imodium. (Look into food combining.) There are things like Dr. Richard Schulze's "Intestinal Formula #2" which can be taken in a similar manner to the Slippery Elm bark. It has that and psyllium, bentonite, pectin, activated charcoal, ground flax seed, etc in it. It can be made without charcoal for long term use... I found it a bit gritty because of the charcoal.

VERY expensive, but arrived with bubble wrap, cold pack, and totally surrounded with styrofoam. He's only used about 5 but says he has to quit....it causes horrible foul gas. Anyone else had that problem? He's trying to wean himself off Immodium, it's been like he needs more and more now.

But anyway, my son is lactose intolerant. He did fine on breast milk, but once that was over at about 2 1/3 years, he's never been able to tolerate milk.
