I am so sorry that a child would have to suffer adhesion (or any) pain. It must be so challenging for you. I just read your last post about him avoiding most fruits. My nutritionist told me that the usual reason people avoid fruits is that they are often difficult to digest, so people associate the fruit with discomfort and avoid them. I thought Jo's idea of disguising the fruit in softened ice cream an excelent one! You may notice that the more acidic fruits and vegetables do bother him, but they can always be replaced by others.
I pray that your son can find relief from his pain. Best wishes.
