[QUOTE="barneysmom, post: 373589, member: 1872"] Hey Boo! My gfg13's iron level dropped to something like 7 (I think normal is the 50's or something). Boy was he tired! We had to give him iron supplements which can cause constipation. Our pediatrician. said difficult child wasn't eating enough meat (he existed on cereal for awhile and I was too busy to think anything about it). Maybe you could let your pediatrician know what's happening and ask if your son needs a multi with iron. I'm only mentioning this because it happened to me. It's good that he's eating PB and an occasional cheeseburger. What kind of pasta are you using? Some brands are beefed up with omegas, and WW pastas have more protein as you know, if he'll eat WW pasta. I remember once gfg17 (in his younger days) ate a whole bag of fishy crackers and threw up on the spot. He was notorious for that, because in those days he did not have the executive function abilities to feel the urge to puke and then run to the bathroom. He threw up all over the place. Anyway -- totally off topic. Those were trying times but they seem endearing now, and I have to laugh as I share this story with you. It's good to laugh. Hugs Good luck with you fishy-cracker lover.
