[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 436430, member: 1991"] Ask the doctor to monitor his weight. If he's getting weighed by the doctor every visit, then the not eating/drinking will soon show up as weight loss. And he should not be losing weight at his age. When difficult child 3 stopped taking risperdal, he lost weight. not a lot, but enough to worry the pediatrician. Because we had stopped the risperdal, the doctor did nothing more than order blood tests. But if the risperdal had not been a possible factor, he would have done a lot more. And difficult child 3 didn't have a poo problem or eating problem like your son. Monitor quietly, diarise, but try to be more discreet about it if you can. Because what is happening right now - every time you take him to the doctor, and the doctor says don't worry, it is actually validating your son's approach. It's like the doctor is telling your son that it's ok to not eat or drink, it's ok to not poo. Marg [/QUOTE]
