I would try to gradually get your husband up to a higher dose - see if he can hit 10 grams at least. Keep him on 3 doses a day, and just gradually increase each dose. This should help make small amounts of fats more tolerable.
Restaurants and fats are a tough issue - they just about always use more oil than you would cooking at home. You have to just constantly ask for food to be made with as little oil as possible. It can help if he takes a dose of Acacia right before his meal - that will give him a buffer. He might also try taking peppermint capsules - I find them very helpful for preventing problems from too much fat in a meal, and I habitually take them before any restaurant food, no matter how safe I've tried to order.
Best, Heather
