Hi my son Connor was very slow to gain weight.He is now 12 years old and is still struggling to put weight on.Connor has been to see the dietitian on and off over the years.Now he has been put on milk shake drinks (scandishake mix). He has got to eat with them and at times this is proving difficult for him as his bowel has been in spasms for the past few days.I think it's a Noonans thing.I can remember Connor at Henry's age and he seemed to stick at 16lbs for about a year.I found that doctors didn't seem to help, so as usual i took one day at a time.

Hi, I am wondering if anyone could share with me their info on slow
weight gain. Henry is now 21 months and still only weighs 15lb 7oz.
He has recently gone off the g-tube since he is eating as much orally
as he was taking through the tube. Also, he just tested negative for
Celiac Disease. The doc's are checking to see if there is any other
malabsorption possibility. He has only gained a few ounces over the
past few months. He is active, happy, learning new things daily...has
heart defects that will be repaired 'when he puts on enough weight'.
Ugh. Any feedback would be much appreciated. -Madeline
