Possible Zinc deficiency...

[Guest guest]

I have a concern and hope someone here can give some insight...my son is 2 1/2

and was born in the 95% for height and I just noticed he's in the 5th% in height

and I'm a bit concerned.  I did some research and it seems foods high in Zinc

are wheat, eggs, dairy, all foods he can't have.  I also found that Zinc

deficiency can lead to growth issues.  Does anyone have any advice for me?  He

is also soy, rice, some nuts, fish, corn, and a few others.  My husband is 6' 1 "

and I'm 5' 2 " so I'm expecting him to be in the middle of us...but certainly not

in the 5th%!  TIA!
