Poor weight gain: Has your pediatrician recommended a work-up including urinalysis, urine culture, cbc, complete metabolic panel, thyroid function tests, celiac panel (tissue transglutaminase iga) and bone age? In addition, has her caloric intake been investigated? Please consult a pediatrician and nutritionist first and specialists later for the abnormal results of the above tests.
