My 8year old DD weighs less than she did in August and hasn’t put on any weight since then. She had a rubbish runny tummy after food poisoning for 2 weeks in September which I’m guessing might account for some of it, but I’d hoped she’d have put some back on 🤷♀️she’s eating well again tho still has tummy pains on and off (gp not worried at all about this) so I was a bit worried to find tonight she’s only at 23kg which is a little bit less than at the start of August. She’s dropped a centile from 25th to 9th and I literally couldn’t be offering her any any higher calorie foods, for reference her twin who she’s always been a bit heavier than now weighs 24kg so a 1kg more.
Because she had so many tests with this ongoing tummy above that were all normal (normal bloods etc) I don’t think any other investigations would be done again only 2-3 weeks on from that.
could this just be post - viral and taking a while to put weight back on? Or should I go back to gp again? Or am I being too hasty in expecting her to be tanking some weight back on. Any reassurance very welcome.
