Hi Sally
Yes my plan of attack is to alter his diet. Although he is
5 years old, interestingly enough he does not like breakfast
weetbix etc but eats sandwichs instead, the only fruit he
will eat is apples and kiwifruit and grapes.
When he was newborn and had his first malrotation surgery
it was Easter time and we had difficulty finding a hospital
to accept him to repair his obstruction. The surgeon had not
performed this operation before and worked him with a text
book to his side. Dont get me wrong, if this doctor had not
have operated on him my son would not have been here now.
