I wonder if I could pick your expert brains? DS2, 4 years, has anemia (folate levels low) diagnosed at xmas when he was so weak and wobbly after series of illnesses and a diarrhea bug. Dr watching and waiting to see if he gets right although last set of bloods showed folate levels lower. Celiac blood test negative.
But I've noticed that his belly is often really swollen (and I don't know how long this has been for, and feel dreadful I haven't really noticed - but certainly since xmas he's been skin and bones with this big sticky out belly). I noticed in it photos first (he looks fat but isn't) and now 2 children at school call him the one with the fat belly.
As of yesterday been looking at his poos and they float.
Do you think this could be gluten problems? I will ask Dr but be good to go armed with some advice.
This morning I gave him ham and eggs for breakfast (rather than egg on toast) and his belly looks less distended. Although I can't really believe it could be that instant. Perhaps he didn't eat as much.
Any thoughts? Thank you!
