Question
Hello.  My 8 year old daughter is gaining weight in her abdominal area and I am concerned.  She does complain of belly aches often especially when she is getting ready to eat or has just eaten.  To give you a little background, I am very mindful of the foods we eat.  I buy organic 1% milk, organic meats, etc.  I watch for transfats, high fructose corn syrup, etc.  My daughter drinks a lot of water.  She is also active.  I did have a hair analysis done on her about 4 months ago and it stated her metabolism was very slow.  Do you have any suggestions as to what could be causing this and what I can do?  Thanking you in advance!!

Answer
Hello Lisa,

I would need more information to be able to help you better but I would start with getting your daughter off all dairy, wheat and gluten.
I would add an enzyme at meals. I would add proactazyme plus.  I would also feed the thyroid and adrenals. For the thyroid I would use TSII. I would need to know more to feed the adrenals.  I do offer complete phone consults and have a free class on weight loss via phone on Thursday night.
