[quote=Anonymous]My kid sound just like yours down to the perch sitting  My kitchen stools get filthy from his feet but his hips and hamstrings are so tight that this is a more comfortable position  We have done a few things that I thought were good ideas suggested by our dev ped and other specialists  we saw a gI specialist to do testing for a malabsorption disorder  our results had some surprises so that was worth doing  we have seen an endocrinologist in the past as well  For the trunk and tone issues we were advised to see a physiatrist aka a doctor of rehabilitation medicine and she ordered Pt  you don''t mention school but there is an educational impact to not being able to hold your body upright at a desk to write  i assume you have an iep and if not you should look into one we get pt at school also  one medication that our psychiatrist likes is remeron because it treats anxiety while also increasing appetite there are medications to stimulate appetite and you should ask your doc if they would be suitable Finally the only nutritionist I would see is one recommended by the gi specialist  you should be skeptical there are so many people promising the moon to desperate parents  sorry for the punctation  my preschooler spilled water on my laptop and has ruined my keyboard[/quote]
