Hi,
You might try him on a gluten free diet.
This is a diet that is free of wheat, barley, rye and oats, and anything made from them.
You can search the net to find out more information. You need to be strict with the diet for at least a few weeks (up to a month), to see if it helps.
Another possible food related cause is dairy (particularly lactose in milk)...
If this doesn't help (and even if it does) he should see a dr. for full evaluation.
Cheers
Sally
Hi momoftwo378,
Chronic diarrhea with blood in stools a couple of times needs proper evaluation.
A colonoscopy has to be done to see what exactly is the cause.
Discuss with your doctor regarding this test.
