Thanks for your suggestions. Do you think cold water is more likely to cause pain than other cold drinks, like iced tea? It's the coldness itself that's a problem because it triggers GI spasms--not water vs another drink. It's especially worse if you drink something cold on an empty stomach.

Concerning peppermint tea, I'm still trying to find someone who can tell me if peppermint has fructose (since my son is fructose intolerant). His doctors aren't sure about it. Also the Heather's peppermint caps have ginger in them, and he has to avoid ginger. Fructose is mainly found in fruit, so it shouldn't be in plain peppermint tea (loose or tea bags). I hope your son starts feeling better soon!
