[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The bloated look is very likely constipation. I know my son came back from a week away and proceeded to go to the bathroom 3x per day for several days. Growing boys eat a lot and they should not be limited. 10 chicken wings is not a lot and cookies are fine. Kids need protein, fat, and carbs and if you are limiting those things, he is going around hungry. Yes, pure sugar snacks should be limited but do not limit the protein portion of a meal. [/quote] My very skinny (-3% on the weight chart) kid also came home with a bloated tummy. Pooped an hour after coming home and has been tooting all day. He didn't/couldn't poop at camp. Give the kid some water, and quit nagging him so he can relax and poop. Very time you feel the need to start harping on his weight, give him a book or turn on the TV then walk away and go to another room in the house. Kid needs to poop.[/quote]
