[tri-med] Re: Nestle Additions/Weight Gain-Ann

Hi Ann,

Thanks for the reply. I get the Nestle Additions today and will give that a 
shot. I have been flooded on/off list with many tips, meds, ideas to try. I 
feel these should be tried first before resorting to Gtube. What floors me, 
granted good days/bad days with food jags, but she eats great and will mooch 
off our plates too. I am going to ask that her thyroid or metabolism be checked 
into also. I know your metabolism can change over your lifetime, but maybe it 
is one of her genes they know nothing about yet. We know she will be small, 
that is my argument, but I don't want to turn her into a minutature Violet 
Beauregarde either and have more complications on our hands, minus of course 
purple skin and floating through house...

Take care Ann & Thanks Again : )
