Poor Weight Gain – Overview
Parents’ concerns about their children’s slow development in height and weight are commonplace. Many even wonder about their children’s poor appetite, despite providing them with tasty, nutritious foods at home.
Underlying causes range from inadequate nourishment, food intolerance, frequent illnesses, worms and eating disorders to mental illnesses. Moreover, some children suffer from frequent stomach pains, bloating, vomiting after consuming certain foods that contain wheat, proteins, milk, etc. – indicating food sensitivity.
Timely medical intervention, however, can speed up the growth of the child, prevent complications later during puberty and ward off other deficiencies, namely, anaemia and weak bones. With proper nourishment, the child’s concentration and poor memory can be markedly improved.
Poor Weight Gain – Causes
Inadequate food intake: the child shows reduced food intake, resulting in the following inadequacies:
-
low iron
-
low vitamins
-
low proteins
-
low calcium
Failure to assimilate or inability to absorb and retain nutrients, due to two main reasons:
food intolerance
gluten sensitivity; wheat or proteins causing stomach sickness
lactose intolerance; unable to tolerate milk and milk products such as curd, cheese or milk in any other form
medical reasons
worm infestations
frequent illnesses such as diarrhoea, fever and respiratory allergies
food allergies due to colours and preservatives in the food
thyroid dysfunction
tuberculosis
genetic diseases, such as Down’s syndrome and inborn error of metabolism
premature or preterm babies
certain medications that can interfere with the absorption of food
type 1 diabetes
heart diseases
Psychological and behavioural problems:
mood swings

disobedient, angry and irritable children
Poor Weight Gain – Treatment
According to a study conducted in Cuba, 84% children treated with homeopathy attained normal weight, whereas only 30% attained normal weight with placebo.
Studies and clinical trials have shown effective results of homeopathy treating children having food sensitivity and intolerance.
Various case studies estimated the benefits of homeopathy in correcting absorption disorders, thereby treating poor weight gain in children.
