Hello, I am new to this board. I am concerned about my 4 year old boy. He only weighs 32 lbs and has only gained 4 lbs in the past 2 years. He is so much smaller than the other kids in his Pre-K class. He has severe asthma. He coughs all the time. He has also had problems with constipation since he was and infant. It was so bad that he would bleed with every bowel movement. He eats like a horse and doesn't gain any weight. He also complains of his legs hurting him a lot. He will also complain of lots of belly aches. I am very worried for him, but none of the physicians he has seen has never mentioned it. Is it all in my head or should I get him tested? I feel like an over concerned Mother. Please give me some input!!!!
