Talk to Pediatrician on 4.5 Year Old Son - Refusing Food For Months, Constant Belly Pain, Poor Weight Gain

Age: 4.5 years Gender: Male Weight: 14.3 kg

Main Problem: My son has been refusing to eat for months. Even his favorite foods he eats very slowly and with no interest.

Symptoms: - Appetite: Very poor. Always says "I’m not hungry" and "my belly is filled" - Belly Pain: Always complains "my belly hurts" before and during meals. When I ask him to point, he points to the whole belly. The pain seems mild to very low. - Behavior: Despite saying his belly hurts, he plays and talks normally all day. - Eating Pattern Example from Today: Morning: Half roti with egg after a lot of requests School: Biscuits + 2 bread french toast Drink: Half glass Ganny ka tass Milk: 2 times at home Night: Only 5-6 small bites of roti after a lot of insisting - Weight: 14.3 kg at 4.5 years. Not gaining. - Bowel: No constipation. Bowel movements are normal.

What I've tried: Limiting milk to 2 cups/day, offering favorite foods, a lot of encouragement, but nothing helps.

My Questions for Doctor: 1. What could be causing constant belly pain + no appetite + poor weight gain at this age? 2. Which tests should I get done? CBC, Iron, Stool for worms? 3. Could this be reflux, gastritis, low iron, or something else? 4. How can I help him start eating properly?

I’m very worried. Please guide me. Thank you.
