He has also always had a problem with accidents and bed wetting. When we found out about his allergy we removed all nightshade from our families diet as to eliminate any exposure to it as much as possible. (his reactions were respiratory which was very worrisome) Recently after about 6 months of no nightshade and intentional gut repair I decided to test him. (he had completely stopped with potty accidents and bed wetting during the 6 month nightshade free time). When we introduced nightshade back into his diet for a couple meals his respiratory issues and skin reactions did NOT occur, however the accidents started immediately again.<br />I am so grateful for this post. Other articles and posts only ever talk about medications. It is such a relief to read your findings! <br />Thank you and God Bless Nichole Bunnellhttp://www.myhiveoffive.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-89220545566470331462017-11-17T07:36:48.819-08:002017-11-17T07:36:48.819-08:00Thank you for this article!

Now my 5 year old has wet the bed 5 days in a row when she hasn't had an accident for over 2 years. I started researching and found this article. I don't know if I should try it for another week or take them back off of gluten today.

After my daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease this past summer, she still wet the bed/headaches (she's 12) MUCH. We connected corn. Yep, labs. Allergy. Eliminated it from the diet and no headaches, yet, random bedwetting. I just thought to try dairy...knowing when she has it. Off to eliminating dairy...doctors look at me like, well, I'm sure doctors look at many of you. I ask them to test for things and I'm right (blood work, etc, confirms) yet they still just sort of, pat me on the head and send me home. THANK you parents for your insight!

In the last several years he has been diagnosed with viral induced asthma and most recently arthritis. He has no known allergies. He has been gluten free for almost 3 weeks, last night we splurged and had pizza and breadsticks. He soaked thru last night and woke up this morning all congested. As of now I'm going to say gluten...we will be playing with this thought. brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04130326832351933092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-22313679070632191122017-02-14T06:12:01.749-08:002017-02-14T06:12:01.749-08:00I was told by a doctor that gluten numbs the nerve...I was told by a doctor that gluten numbs the nerves that tell you that you need to go to the bathroom if you are sensitive to it. I found this out when potty training my twin girls. One potty trained perfectly normal, the other was taking forever. The said to remove gluten and after I did she was potty trained. I kept both kids gluten free until age six , back on gluten the child with sensitivity started having accidents during the day and wetting the bed. Here we are age 9, gluten free , accident free. If she slips she has an accident. It's that simple.MommyinSoflohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765419942965772829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-18605257250762347262015-11-29T17:58:01.104-08:002015-11-29T17:58:01.104-08:00Thanks for this post!

I have been trying to get my 6yo son to night train since he was 2 1/2, but he still has frequent accidents! Just recently, I remembered reading a post about dairy and night accidents. Sure enough, he has been dairy free for 2 days... And 2 nights of a dry pull-up!

Below is from the food intolerance website www.fedup.com.au<br /><br />"any of the usual nasty additives - including 282, the bread preservative<br />salicylates - you can cut down on salicylates by drinking water instead of fruit juice or cordial, and avoiding some of the highest foods - citrus, tomatoes, broccoli and grapes, and reducing fruit intake. Or you can do the full diet. For more ideas, see one of my books<br />dairy foods - some people who have problems with regular cows’ milk find they are OK with A2 milk. Others may need to switch to soy or rice milk."<br /> Dancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18327121839790259875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-52709845514655203272013-11-01T20:49:35.699-07:002013-11-01T20:49:35.699-07:00I have a daughter who has Celiac and I can always ...I have a daughter who has Celiac and I can always tell if she has accidentally ingested gluten because she wets the bed that night.

Recurring ear infections, night terrors, ADHD, rashes, headaches, and much more can be linked to dairy, wheat, artificial food colors, flavors, or sweeteners, preservatives, etc. More often than not, allergy testing won't show up positive, so the best method is a simple elimination trial.Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13017243858428837934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2616452666148403026.post-63311710074768796992013-03-19T13:19:13.681-07:002013-03-19T13:19:13.681-07:00Absolutely!

He has multiple food allergies; peanuts being the only obvious reaction, the others he tested positive but doesn't react so we let him still eat them. I'm wondering now if perhaps they are impacting him after all. I'll be calling the allergist today; time for updated testing and perhaps some diet changes.

I had a HECK of a time convincing his state doctors. BUT when he came to us he was 11 years old and on a night time catheter bag because of excessive bed wetting. I also noticed a skin rash on his upper arms and back that everyone told me was "normal" for him. I played with his diet and found out his rash went completely away when we took dairy out.... but the interesting this is that his cath bag was always empty in the morning too after we took dairy out! Doctors did not believe me, but I told him that if he went a week with no dairy and no wet bag I would let him sleep without the bag... talk about one happy child!<br /><br />Hope you figure it all out for C so he can be as free as possible!
