    I think you need to look into the private system, if he has crohns then it needs sorting ASAP.
    Have you looked into milk protein allergy?

    I agree with Olive, i would look into seeing a private G.I doctor.
    Mine bulk bills & he works in the public & private systems.

    I'd google a Dr, then make an appointment & then get the referral from the GP

    my child doesn't, but my DD had severe FTT and we had a gastro-enterologist do exploitative surgery & take biopsy's. If you are over the medicare threshold it doesn't end up costing that much to see them.

    My 2 close friends have Crohns & Ulcerative colitis. I know the one with colitis can't have any diary or it makes it worse. I can ask them what is was like when they were kids.
