[quote=Anonymous]I have a 10 yo DC who has always been slender. They started taking stimulants 3 years ago and since then have struggled to gain weight but growth is staying on the curve. They need their stimulant to make it through the day at school - when DC accidentally skips it’s a disaster socially and academically. Pediatrician tells me not to worry as DC is growing but BMI has dropped from 10% before stimulants to 5% after one year of stimulants to <<1%. BMI is now 12.5. DC has seen a nutritionist in the past, and has also done feeding therapy (that was when BMI was 2%). DC refuses to do feeding therapy again. I’m trying to trust my pediatrician, but it’s getting harder as I see DC growing without gaining weight. Any advice from other parents who have BTDT would be appreciated. [/quote]
