There's this other insane thing I've started doing, because I'm willing to try anything at this point, and that's re-capping all his meds. Most pills come in a plant cellulose capsule, which is a polysaccharide and thus not allowed on his diet, but the general agreement is that the benefit of the meds outweighs the detriment of the capsule. But he takes an awful lot of pills when you add them all up. And they DO make gelatin capsules that you can buy in bags of 1000 online for very cheap. So I opened all his pills this week and poured the contents into empty gelatin capsules. Won't really know if it's helping for another few days, but it's a damn lot of work.
