London's New Diet

I took London to the doctor for another weight check last Thursday and he only gained 3 oz. since his weight check 6 weeks ago. Dr. Stucker was not happy with the weight gain so she asked that I write down everything I am feeding him and count the calories. Then she wanted me to make a revised diet to match 1,000 calories a day. Here it is:

Old Food Menu

Breakfast
Oatmeal with blueberries or scrambled eggs
1/2 banana (large)

Snack
Cinnamon Raisin Ezek. bread

Lunch
Hot Dog
Peas
Carrots

Dinner
1/2 chicken breast, pork chop or other meat grilled
Veggie

Total Calories: Approx 670

Current Food Menu

Breakfast
Oatmeal w/ blueberries and coconut oil
or 2 eggs with butter
1/2 banana (large)

Snack
Cinnamon raisin Ezek break with peanut butter
8 oz chocolate soy milk

Lunch
4 meatballs
Hashbrowns (fried)
veggie with butter

Snack
Pork skins
Fruit
(will add more milk at snack as he adjusts to it.)

Dinner
Hamburger, pork chops or chicken
Hashbrowns or tater tots
veggie with butter

Calories: 1200-1600

I want to clarify that the old diet did not have enough calories, BUT I was filling his plate so his tummy was full. He just needs more calories because he is an active boy. This is proving to be difficult since he can not have wheat and dairy.

I have introduced soy milk this week and I am wondering if it is not agreeing with him and affecting his emotions. For the past several weeks he has been doing better than normal. This week he is crying and tantruming at the drop of a hat. We may have to take him to see a GI specialist after all. Poor little guy.
