Hi all. Have any of you have seen a big weight gain in the first year of taking Delflazacort? My son is 4 and has been on deflazacort for about 4 months now. Yesterday we were at our regular doc for a check up and found out Ben had gained 2 lbs in 4 months since starting steroids but has only grown 1/4 in. Is this a significant weight gain in such a short time? We have always been generally healthy eaters and now we really watch his sodium intake, push veggies/fruits more (apples are his favorite snack!) and avoid all the bad stuff. However, I have seen a big increase in appetite especially in the last month. Since he was little he has been a solid somewhat stocky kiddo-most of the time in the 95th percentile for height and weight. Perhaps I am over-thinking everything, but like all of us I just want to do what is best for my son!!!! Thanks for any advice!
