Breath Hydrogen Scores for SIBO and Fructose Malabsorption

Tootsie had her Well-Child Exam yesterday with the pediatrician.  She is a little over 5-1/2 years old and measures 43 inches tall and weighs 39 pounds.  She is in the 23rd percentile for both height and weight.  Her BMI is 15.  This is huge for her!  I was looking through her growth from birth and she was always in the 5-10% for height and not on the charts for weight.  Now that we have our girl figured out, she's growing and thriving!  It's so exciting to see. More exciting news:  I spoke with our dietitian last night and she said she is urging the doctors at our area's largest teaching hospital to purchase a Breath Hydrogen Testing Machine!  They are currently sending adult patients to a local children's hospital for testing.  She said it was because of us that this medical advancement could be taking place!  So cool!
