Why don’t my son’s fingernails grow?

September 19, 2007 | By valmg |

After my youngest son had his bath tonight I had him sit down because his toenails needed to be trimmed. Now my youngest son’s fingernails do not grow. They stay very short. He does not bite them, and it’s very infrequently that they have to be cut. His toenails seem to grow normally. I have asked the doctor if maybe his fingernails didn’t grow because he has Celiac disease but I was told there’s no correlation. I wonder why his fingernails don’t grow.
