Hi there

I just noticed that at our GI's office, they give you a BMI...I honestly

didn't know why it was significant since he's so young and was interested to see

some folks mention it in posts.

His BMI is like 18.7% but what is the ideal? Is it important? I saw in the

post about where they thought that children who had a very high one

were more prone to certain endocrine issues, but is that the only issue?

Just curious...out of four kids, I can't recall seeing that number before

until we started see the GI for True.

Mitochondrial Myopathy...G, 6, with High Functioning Autism, Hypoglycemia and

Precocious Puberty...B, 4, with VERY mild Cerebral Palsy...and True 1yo, with

Neuromotor Disorder, Hypoglycemia, Myoclonus, ulcers, undiagnosed GI problems

plus severe food allergies (Eggs, Peanut, Milk, Soy, Corn, Rice, Oats and

Crab/Neocate-only), Plagiocephaly and Dysphagia....Married for 12 years to

F--one
