[quote=Anonymous]We had a similar issue with DS. At 13 he was below 1 percentile in height and weight. Pediatric endo and nutritionist helped us tremendously as they explained to DS that he has to eat. He was doing a sport, trained every single day for a few hours, nationally ranked junior athlete in his sport. So no weight gain was happening.

Donuts, hamburgers, chips, oil in food, candy bars, every single thing that I thought was "unhealthy" was ok. They told his straight, you need to eat. He also had a constitutional growth delay but he was old enough to understand that he will not grow if he doesn't eat enough calories.

Donuts, cakes, pizza, burgers, pasta, adding oil to his soups and food. Buy candy bars, breads, just give him a baguette with butter at night for snacks.

Fast forward, DS grew, not to his top potential but over 5'10".
He is now 23, and he gained quite a bit of weight when done with college and the non stop sport. He actually just grew an inch, at 23! I kid you not.
Bcs he ate and gained weight. He has now lost most of that weight, in the last 3 months. It is true, eat to grow.[/quote]
