Recently, mealtimes have become frustrating for John's mother. Her four-year old son refuses to eat, does not want to drink his milk, and begs for juice instead. He often complains "that his stomach hurts" and cries until his mother gives in to his requests. He also goes through periods where he has diarrhea or constipation. After several visits to the local health clinic, his mom finally learns that John has lost weight and his tests reveal that he is lactose intolerant and may be developing celiac disease, all of which are contributing to his malnutrition. More recently, orange juice has caused him to break out in hives.
