I second the check for celiacs. I would check on his thyroid, too, and even lupus. Maybe your next dr. visit should be a rheumatologist. They deal with autoimmune diseases. His being incredibly fatigued, but no explanation from his bloodwork is what leads me to this thought. There are many autoimmune diseases out there that will cause extreme fatigue. Unusual hair loss can also be a thyroid issue many times. All of these things a rheumatologist can help discover. I wish you the best. It's so hard to be a parent and feel helpless when it comes to making our babies feel better.
