Re: How do you know when early adrenarche begins?

[Guest guest]

Hi Amy,

Blood work would probably be your best bet. My son is only 3 1/2 and

he has body odor under his arms already. But, his could be because he

got a little chubby, according to Dr. H. We just had blood work done,

and I haven't heard anything about it. I am sure others will have much

more advice to give. This is new to me still and I am hoping

isn't going through adrenarche yet. Hoping it will get better with

better weight management. GH should help us out in this area.

is J tube fed and Dr. H has cut him down again, so that should help

too. I hope you find out some more answers. This can all be very hard

to understand.

Take care,

Jodi R.
