Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 Can missing an infusion cause weight loss? My son usually gets IVIG every 21 days, but this time went almost 8 weeks. During that time, he started eating enough food to sustain a large adult. The overeating was concerning. He is on the SCD diet to control small bowel bacterial overgrowth, so he was not eating empty calories. He was eating outrageous amounts of protein and vegetables. He had a GI appointment today and grew since his last appointment in June, but lost weight (he is now in the 5th %ile for weight). The only change in his life has been the missed infusion. Is there a possible connection? - --------------------------------- Check out the hottest 2008 models today at Autos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
