A few weeks ago, Christopher was re-scoped for Celiac and was tested for as many other gastro related issues as we could think of that would relate to why he is not gaining. Good news... ALL these tests came back completely normal!
However (here comes the kicker) they took blood for growth hormone levels. His are 'slightly lower than normal'. So while we get to say goodbye to our gastroenterologist, we get to add a new doc - a endocrinologist! And a nutritionalist. Did I spell that right? LOL!
After speaking to his pedi, we are going to also give a appetite stimulant a whirl. He eats like a bird and hopefully, this will help him feel more hungry and help add a pound or two. It can be MONTHS before we actually have an appointment with the endo doc.
