Could my shortness be due to the food poisoning i had when i was a baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubtful: Food poisoning is a transient stress on the system from which kids will fully recover. I suppose if you were hospitalized for weeks & it profoundly altered your system it might. But I have never seen it or heard of it.Growth is a complex interaction between genetic potential, diet & general health. Expected stature is projected as the average of your parents height +5cm if male & -5cm if female.
