[quote=Anonymous]I'd ask about a celiac screen. Read up on it first (celiac.org and beyondceliac.org are good resources) because not all doctors are up on the latest info; our pede missed it for several years. My kid slowly drifted from 90s to 70s in height, pede said it was no big deal; fast forward several years (and several seemingly unrelated symptoms, like headaches, tantrums, anxiety, panic attacks, sleep difficulty, random rashes, stomach aches, increasing appetite and weight gain ...), same kid had off the chart celiac antibodies. Same child is now through puberty and has maxed out around 50th percentile, despite predicted height at around 80% based on parent heights. I wish we'd figured it out back when they first started slipping down the chart - we would've missed out on a lot of rough times (don't care so much about the height, though the kid does and is bummed).
