RE: Pediatric help needed!

[Guest guest]

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!!

TIA,

Re:%20RDs%20with%20Liver%20disease%20experience,%20help%20appreciated)

Hi All,

Happy Friday!

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.
