still figuring it out

Well back in Feb.I took my son to the GI dr. to see about his constipation.They wanted to see him back in a few months to see if he was still having problems. Last week i brought him back and he is totally over it. They said that he did not need them anymore. I fixed his problem by putting him on the gfcf diet and giving him probiotics and digestive enzymes. They were surprised that it helped. I am relieved because he is finally potty trained and he does not hurt anymore. He just had to get his gut problems corrected.I think that we are on our way. I am seeing signs that putting him on the SCD diet as well as the gfcf would work, but I am afraid to start. He eats a lot of potatoes and the SCD would mean that he shouldn't eat them. I did not give him potatoes for 3 days and I noticed that he seemed less agitated than before, his dad gave him potatoes for breakfast yesterday and he had the biggest meltdown and was scrunching up his face and he seemed to be in pain. He yelled and screamed. I had no idea what was going on, he had not done this in a while to this extent. Then my daughter told me that they had potatoes for breakfast. That is when I knew that it had to be the potatoes. I am now limiting potatoes, and I am keeping track to see if on the days he has them if the meltdowns are worse. i am going to keep him off of them until Friday then I will give him potatoes for lunch and see if anything happens.
