It's a hard topic for me because I had an eating disorder when I was a teenager due to being bullied for being "big" I ended up Anorexic and still to this day almost 34 years of age I still find it hard to eat at times. Anyways this is about my 11 year old son, (background) he was born prematurely 10 weeks early from then and onwards he always struggled to put on weight, we had to feed him high fat foods, he was also put on a hormonal growth pen because he's small in stature but he's now meeting expectations which we are thrilled.
Last week he had a bad stomach not an illness or virus just pain and nausea, the pain was middle-ish from the right it passed the next day so I stopped worrying it was something serious. He hasn't been eating well since, he's been having food but wasting it which is not him he's a great eater!. Yesterday he told me he had ham for his dinner and he's hungry for tea, me not thinking much of it at the time, I logged into the parent pay app this morning to make sure he has enough dinner money and he only spent £1 so that made me think he's had a sandwich and that's it all day, he didn't have breakfast either that morning. I'm very worried tbh and I don't know what to think, shall I ask him if there's anything he feels to tell me? I don't want to be on his case since he's now in the moody stage if life, I'm just worried.
