[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 504099, member: 8831"] how odd. did the nutritionalist mention what, specifically she is reccomending a developmental pediatrician for? is she implying that she feels its necessary for the anxiety issues or is she somehow tying it into an unhealthy relationship with food (maybe not specifically calling it an eating disorder). while its a lot of weight loss for a child and it can seem alarming--its not unusual with adderall. i'd honestly look to that first. regardless of the reason, the nutritionists job is evaluate her diet and make adjustments calorically to try to stop/lessen weight loss--high calorie foods, food supplements, etc. there is nothing wrong with seeing a developmental pediatrician (just so you know, in my neck of the woods, you'd probably get a date with the president before you get an appointment--the wait is forever) and it certainly can be a good thing. in the meantime, i'd personally just speak to the rx'ing dr of the adderall and see if maybe a medication change will help. and hopefully the nutritionalist gave you some actual dietary suggestions. oh, and ps--from the way you describe the she doesnt want to gain weight part, it sound like a perfectly reasonable thing for a girl to say...like a passing comment. i didnt think it was a weird thing to say at all, especially at a nutritionalists office in which her goal is to make her gain weight :-) [/QUOTE]
