I need to know if there is a disease out there in which a baby is born with the inability to produce body fat ----- My 3 year old son was born healthy , but has not had any body fat on him since the day he was born ---- He has been tested for every disease that you can think of pertaining to low weight gain , and if you look at him , you can clearly see that he is missing body fat , although he does eat like a horse !!!!!!!!
Are his doctors missing something ?????? Should I be concerned that he does not have body fat ???????? I need to know something because sometimes I feel as though he may have something rare that hasn't been picked up on . Please help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My son will be 3 in February and he is exactly the same way. He too has been tested for all sorts of diseases and nothing has come out. He eats all the time and is still only 24lbs (he was almost 8lbs at birth). I still believe there is something not right but I don't know what to do anymore, the docs all say nothings wrong, just feed him a high calorie diet. I am doing that but still nothing I fear i'll never know what is going on. How long ago was he tested and for what? My pediatrician said sometimes when they are tested really young the results can be inaccurate. I think I'm going to see if they can retest my guy again since it's been almost 2 years since they started running tests. Anyways, if you ever need someone to talk this over with email me at _[removed]_. Good luck and hang in there I know how frustrating it is and how much it can make you worry.
