Excessive appetite

My friends daughter seems to always be hungry, although taking in tons of calories a day. They are waiting to have more testing done, as she was in the high 30's on her sweat test. Is it normal for a 2 year old to be consuming an estimated 1800 calories a day, hardly gaining weight, and never seeming full? They have upcoming appts with their ped and a GI, but I told her that I would see if I could get any input from this forum. Thanks

This was absolutely our experience before our diagnosis. I never counted the calories but our daughter was constantly hungry and constantly eating. She fell from the 95 percentile at birth to below the 25 percentile by the time she was diagnosed (at age 3 yrs 3 months).

TO answer your ???...absolutely. Its one of the "signs" for such a small person to have such a huge appetite yet not blow up like a balloon. Be greatful the appetite is there. When my appetite is gone that means something is wrong. The old saying of a hardy appetei is healthy is good falls into play here............
