Has CFS. Having Stomach Ache. Have Craving For Sugary Foods. Take Multi Vitamins. Suggestions?
My 13 yearold coeliac son has CFS. I am really struggling to work out what to feed him on as he craves for sugary foods all the time and duffers from tummy aches a lot. He is following a gluten free diet. He mostly eats vegetarian, soya or almond or rice milk but occasionally has dairy in cooked things. He has to have coke to boost him enough to get going for school and tutoring or going out. He has braces. I really worry that he stocks up with sweets when he is out. He does take multi vitamins. The chemist said I cannot cut down the sugar quickly. The specialist says that if coke and sweets is what he needs to boost his energy to enable him to go to school and socialising then that is better than any medication. Any tips please?

celiac means gluten free diets and there are many protein in wheat in my opinion if you get blood serum tests for specific antibodies for milk wheat potato chana and nuts rice by consulting allergeologist you can come to know which protein he is allergic to and completyely avoid those like full wheat proteins
