Question: Hi my son is 3 year old and he is not gaining weight since last one year he weighs around 10.7 kg now.. he is not premature child nd weight was 3.4 kg at the time of birth. He is very active and sharp .. I consulted my child specialist he said slow weight gain can be genetic as even I was very thin.

Hi
Thanks for reaching out to us.
Weight:
This could be genetic as your Pediatrician suggested . It could be also due to deficiencies in protein or vitamins , but if your doctor has examined and ruled out these then no need to worry.
Constipation:
You need to increase fruits , vegetables and water and liquids . Avoid bakery, maida , biscuits, chocolates and junk food .
Can try cremaffin plus too . Try applying lignocaine ointment in the anal region to reduce pain.
