FTT: The labs you post do not suggest anything that jumps right out. For a 3 y/o top normal for IgA and calprotectin, burr cells are not very diagnostic and can be from poor technique. Unfortunately it looks as if watch,wait more testing in order. Good luck.

Failure to thrive : I think your GI doctor suggested an upper endoscopy with possible sigmoidoscopy. Eosinophilic gastroenteropathy Is a possible reason which is evaluated by biopsies. If the biopsies are consistent with above then next step is an allergist but make sure you see a pediatric allergist who is familiar with this condition. There are other reasons for failure to thrive as well so follow your GI rec's
