Guest guest Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 My 5 year old nephew was diagnosed with NF1 and ADHD recently and started Ritalin. He has lost weight over the past 5 weeks---he has basically no appetite and his parents are struggling with what to do. Peds is not my specialty so any tips would be greatly appreciated!!

I have a thin 12 yo boy who has documented fatty liver, elevated transaminases, high triglycerides, sees Liver MD specialist who continue to look for genetics etc as cause. Diet was not terribly high in carbs. Problem is that he is an athlete who plays over 2 hours most days in high level aerobic sports. Have eliminated junk carbs, hfcs, etc. but looking for other suggestions or resources. Suggestions? Thanks for any input you may have.
