[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Were either you or your husband short and skinny as kids or were you both always tall and very thin? If you were short, skinny kids who ended up being tall adults I wouldn't worry as much. But if you were both always tall there is something seriously wrong. Have you really ruled out all medical conditions? I would visit specialists like gastroenterologist, endrocrinologists for another opinion. [/quote] DH and I were both tall and painfully thin as kids. I remember getting letters home from the school nurse - my grandmother accused my mother of starving all her kids. This is different. Late puberty runs on DH’s side, and that’s one possible explanation but doesn’t tell the whole story. DD has been tested by endocrinologists who ran every kind of blood test, a radiologist who measured her growth plates, and a top gastroenterologist who performed an endoscopy and biopsy. All conclude there is no underlying illness.[/quote]
