[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here: I just heard back from DD’s team at NIH who recommend monitoring her every six months, but not pursuing hormone treatment at this time. Her bone age is further delayed than we thought - 3 years at this point. So at age 11, she has the bones of an 8-year-old. Her doctors think this is caused by a constitutional growth delay and likely insufficient caloric intake. We were referred to a dietician to make sure she gets the right nutrients to maximize her growth potential. It will be hard wrestling her to eat - I feed her snacks and full fat foods, but she takes two bites and says she’s full. But we are relieved that her hormones look fine. The low IGF1 is most likely due to her low BMI. Thanks everyone for sharing your thoughts and experiences. They really helped during this uncertain time of waiting.[/quote] Did they check her for gastroparesis? Eating a few/2 bites and being full would be a symptom. [/quote]
