Sam had an appointment with a clinical dietitian today. (She was awesome.) She said I have been feeding her very well (thanks to what I've learned from free and the rest of you guys.) Most of her notes started with "Continue feeding her _______". 
The two things that we are going to start elliminating are anything with gluten and all legumes. If that doesn't work, then we will take dairy away. This week I start eliminating gluten and next week I eliminate the legumes. Doing it all at once might be too hard on Sam.
The dietitian did say that the (pastured) raw jersey cow milk (that I already buy) is the easiest of all the cow's milk to digest. (I can't remember why now.) She also approves raw goat milk too. (I'm sure none of you are shocked about that!) She said to stay away from holstein milk if you can. I wish I could remember why now. (Spent 3 hours in dr.s offices today and another 2 in the car listening to teeny bopper music, so my brain is toast.)
The question I forgot to ask is if she has to go off dairy, how will she get calcium? I think I know the answer--slow cooked bone broths...am I right?
B-brooks, the dietitian also said to up her healthy carb intake, aka veggies etc. (And keep the bad carbs off the menu.)

Yes, the bone broths are an excellent source of calcium!
Sounds like you are on the right track! It is fantastic that you found a dietitian who didn't freak out at all the good stuff you are feeding Sam. Yeah!

I know, right? I was worried that she would be--dare I say it?--"normal"! 
Seems that there are many fellow-food-forward-thinkers over here.
Ok, about the dairy thing...well, we'll cross that bridge when we get there. (Expect lots of questions!)
ETA: She didn't think Sam suffers from fructose malabsorption, just (internally) inflamed from her recent trauma and perhaps the legumes and gluten intolerances.
