As all of you know, weight gain is a vey hot topic and also one that is very frustrating to all parents of cf children. Why they have so many pills gimmicks and medical procedure to lose weight and not one that would help all kids to gain weight is beyond me. We have a 13 yr. old boy weighing in at 74 lbs. We have tried the scandishakes, bossts, carnations, and enough butter, heavy cream, and every other immaginable method to put weight on. Docs are pressuring for a Gtube but we just aren't convinced it's the answer for him. Any tips, advice or just words of wisdom would be appreciated.
Thanks a bunch!
