If you aren't taking an enzyme product for carbs, it would be good to

consider one. Zyme Prime by Houston, Ultra-zyme Plus by Thropps, or

Digest Gold by Enzymedica will all do for this. You can try one

bottle of one brand and see if it helps. If not, try one bottle of

another brand.

You son might not be tolerating something he is eating besides gluten

and casein. Did you see any improvement at all with GFCF?

Also, consider non-food chemicals or naturally occuring chemical

groups. Amines, benzoates, nitrates, sulfites, artificial

additives...all of these may be irritating the gut and the body is

trying to get rid of them. Artificial additives are not really

nutritious food that body can identify as food.

Soy is notoriously hard to digest--can you replace it with

something else?

Some kids have diarrhea when they need zinc.

From this list, my son did not tolerate a few of the foods, even with

enzymes. Do you use enzymes? Which one/s? And your child might

still have food problems, so you might want to try removing these food

items one at a time and see if you notice any changes.

Also, he might not be tolerating supplements you give.
