Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for the question. Child has irrtable bowel syndrome and low blood sugar. I would also need some information about following things.
1. Does child get giddieness ,tremors or sweating
2. Does child have excessive weight loss
3. Does child have any pigmentation means darker areas over knukles
4. If low blood sugar is just after the ibs episode
5. Is there any change in appetite and growth interms height.
Well we must investigate child for certain routine test like complete blood count also basic hormonal test like thyroid hormone level with T4 levels along with fasting and postprandial blood sugar.
