Hello, and a request for advice.

Hello...I didn't know about these boards. A good friend told me about all of you wonderful ladies and suggested I post here.  I hope it's ok that I do.

My son (who is almost 3) has always been developmentally behind and has been in Early Intervention for 15 months for Speech (which is by far his biggest delay), PT and OT.  He has always had issues with constipation as well - and digestive issues, which ironically began soon after my milk came in during his 3rd day of life.  His look immediately changed once my milk came in; it was like he could handle my colostrum - but not the milk - and that's when the constipation issues started.  And he still has constipation issues to this day. 

We have been to many specialists and he has had a bunch of procedures and one surgery (for malrotation).  There is still something wrong though - as he looks very pale with dark circles under his eyes, especially after eating.  He also looks quite sickly when he's backed up, which is quite often. He has no known allergies, as he has been tested.

Through my own research, I am beginning to think he has some sort of enzyme issue...and I also know that my son doesn't seem to know when to poop unless his bowel is completely & totally full. Is that tied to some sort of phenol issue?

Can anyone offer any insight or thoughts?  I honestly have no idea where to turn from here.  :(

Thank you so very much.
