If he's having a sweat test, that's for cystic fibrosis. I've seen a 
baby with that condition, she had edema and low weight gain, classic 
signs of protein deficiency. Unfortunately, the gi doc misdiagnosed her 
with protein losing enteropathy and bullied mom into stopping 
breastfeding. When she failed to thrive on the artificial stuff, the 
baby was finally correctly diagnosed by another doctor, but by then 
mom's milk production was shot. It was very sad, because that baby never 
had an infection until she was weaned, and was always sick afterward. A 
little pancreatic enzyme and a little more human milk to help her catch 
up would have made the difference.
