Answer of the expert...

• Subject : Constipation , GI Issues Weight gain and CdLS
• Topics : Gastroenterology (Feeding)
• Question : Do individuals with CdLS gain weight in a regular basis?
• Answer : It is very difficult for children with CdLS to gain weight quickly. Obviously, minimizing gastroesophageal reflux will help. They really gain weight at their own pace. Maximizing calories can be tried (but I do not think it always helps) through the help of a nutritionist. At the infancy stage it can be done through high- calorie formula. Probably, only with time will the weight add up. Some families will feed at night to get more calories in, but again I don't think overall it helps too much.
