My 8 yr old DS has awful wind problems; we laugh hollowly, but it smells like drains and is pretty much all the time. In addition, he quite often needs to poo 3 times a day and says his poos are quite hard. Sometimes he gets a sore bottom (mostly from straining I think). Occasionally has loose motions, doesnt really get constipated, and says his tummy doesnt hurt.
His diet isnt bad but he does love his food and quite a high proportion is wheat-based (pasta, bread) and I have a wheat intolerance which manifests itself in 'bottom-problems' so do you think he might have got this too? He does eat a fair amount of fruit and veg, and really very little processed/junk food, and only ever water/hot chocolate to drink.
I dont want to worry unnecessarily but I do have to think about the bullying potential of excessive farting, and the possibile damage to his digestive system if he does have a condition that we can sort out. Any ideas gratefully received!
Am off to bed just now but will check this thread first thing tomorrow morning. Thanks in advance
