Pediatrician,  's  Response
thank you for your question. well i would like to know her body weight and height as you are describing her as tiny. also does she get loose stools which are large amount and difficult to flush? also is she always gassy or has belly ache after wheat , oat items?
this all may direct towards celiac disease. and you will need serum ttg levels, her x rays for any signs of rickets. and if ttg is positive then a small intestine biopsy would be better .
so kindly gather all this information. thenwe will take from there. also which igg you have done is very important.
