[quote=Anonymous]We have a very underweight, very short young teen and are doing what we can to help him gain weight (also working with an endocrinologist and GI specialist). Right now it doesn’t appear that anything is physically wrong with him though he’s getting a little more testing. He just doesn’t gain weight. DH and I were similar at that age, and still are to a degree. But DS needs to gain weight to grow so we are trying to help make that happen. One idea I’ve had is to allow him to keep certain foods in his bedroom, to make snacking easier. But it’s hard to think of basically healthy, high calorie, non-perishable foods that don’t make a mess! Right now I’ve got nuts and dried fruit. Curious about any other ideas. I would also welcome tips for weight gain from those who have been there for years. This has been an ongoing challenge for DS but he is especially discouraged right now. He is a wide-ranging eater and always has been.[/quote]
