A Failure to Thrive?

My daughter was an 8 pound baby at birth. In the beginning she had an extreme intolerance to breast milk and formula (including soy). She was always vomiting. Now she is 18 pounds and 29 inches at 16 months. We have run every test under the sun, all of them coming back normal. She is strong and is developing in every area normally (except growth). She is extremely active and has been since the womb. The doctor is calling her a "Failure to Thrive". I have been told by several people that she does not fit into that category. Please tell me what a failure to thrive is. Thank you.
