Starting a lactose and gluten free diet - help please!

DS1 (3.5) has had diarrhoea for best part of a year now, so we are going to try lactose and gluten free for a while.

I have been giving him lactose free milk which he prefers to soya milk, is this ok? Also, I hear lots of other grains such as maize, rye, oats can cause diarrhoea too, so am not sure how much to cut out. If we cut out all of them, there doesn't seem to be much left to feed an already fussy child!

He has been tested for coeliacs and it came back negative. Doctors are being no help what so ever....

We have had a diagnosis from the hospital, ulcerative colitis..with a prescription. We will give it a try, it is good finally to have some constructive suggestion from them. Thanks for listening everyone.
