Answer to Question 1

Generally, FTT is suspected when a child's growth declines more than two growth percentiles, placing the child near or below the lowest percentile in weight-for-age, weight-for-length, and/or BMI. FTT may result from a complex interplay of medical and environmental factors, such as digestive problems such as gastrointestinal reflux or celiac disease, asthma or breathing problems, neurological conditions such as seizures, or pediatric AIDS.
