Thanks guys - will look into probiotics for gut issues. Also will book a doctor's appointment and see if I can get a stool sample analysed. Might have some clues. One small advantage of him not yet being TT'd, at least it's not difficult getting a sample

lilima - yep, I'm a bit apprehensive. DS has been brilliant these last few weeks, lovely, funny, charming, affectionate and I've really felt we've got each other lately. When he started EI last year we had some full-on meltdowns for a long time - even though he was learning so much he was possibly responding to the challenge of it, I'm hoping that the change doesn't prompt it again this time but am expecting some difficulty. But he's seemed so happy these last few weeks, with less anxiety especially.

HA - I went to have a look at your blog and the link didn't seem to work. Maybe it's just me being dopey? Anyway, I'll try again next time I'm on.

Off to bed now, to all.
