Sounds like he's still eating something he's sensitive too. It could
be rice and potatoes... they body can end up intolerant to anything
it eats frequently in large quantities (even the relatively innocuous
non-paleo foods like rice).

You'll have to watch if he does go 100% paleo, as it's easy to drop
into ketosis on pure paleo if you aren't making an effort to keep
your carbohydrate intake high. There's a big dip before your
endurance increases when you starve your body of carbs. But I find
after that, it's possible to fluctate from zero to moderate carb
intake without going through slump again.
You might be interested in the following article. I know your son
isn't a rat, but rats seem similar to humans in many ways. It looks
from the results that the body might be able to use carbohydrates for
energy much more efficiently if the body is adjusted to burning fat
primarily (although that is not the point of the research). I
wouldn't read much into it, but it's an interesting piece of research.
