I have a 14-year-old who was diagnosed with celiac disease a year ago. He is very small for his age, measuring 4’11” and weighing approximately 90lbs. His puberty and growth have been delayed, which I have read can occur with celiac disease. His MD had him do a 3-month cycle of testosterone to try and jump-start his growth cycle. It seemed to help a little, but I am curious if there are other tests or supplements that we should consider. He is super athletic and plays multiple sports in high school, but his size is becoming more and more of a factor.
