I am looking for information regarding my son.  He will be 15 this week and is a sophomore in high school.  He was diagnosed with Celiac Disease last December.  He had a bone age completed one year ago which put him at 13 years of age.  Since starting the diet, he has gained 23 pounds and just grown over 1 inch.  He remains much smaller that his peers at 99 pounds and 5'1".  I am unsure if he has a constitutional puberty delay or would actually need hormones.  I am looking for advice on how to go about this or for anyone that has experienced this to let me know.  I would also appreciate suggestions as to what type of doctor would be recommended. Psychologically, it is becoming more and more difficult for him at school.  His doctor is content to wait it out.  I don't think I am anymore.  Thank you in advance.  Lee
