Bedwetting and Constipation

No idea if this could be an issue, but check out www.gaps.me. If there are food issues, constipation or other gastrointestinal issues and bedwetting, there might be an issue with his digestive tract. Do a YouTube search for Dr. Natasha Campbell-McBride and GAPS or Weston Price conference / Wise Traditions. There are snippets of her presentations that talk about all these things... the problem is finding the presentations since there were many the last time I looked. 15 will be a tough age to do the GAPs program, but if you can get him on board for a few months, you should see improvements if that is the reason behind the bedwetting.

My brothers and I had that problem. I didn't stop until I was 20-21 years old, which was about the age my mother had also. I think ours was genetic, my 3rd child (now 8) and my 9 year old niece have to take medication to have a dry night. With your son it could be the constipation issue, but it could also be that it won't go away until he is an adult.

My son wet his bed until he was 8. We went to a urologist and he did an ultrasound. My son was very constipated. He told us to use miralax (it is over the counter). After starting that, my son never wet the bed again. We only used the miralax for a short time.

I think you are on the right track with the constipation theory. GAPS is an excellent suggestion.
You could check with Dr Bain in Frisco to see what she thinks. Also search for a local GAPS practitioner. You might want to start looking into high quaily probiotics at the very least. Good luck on your journey. I definitely think you are heading in the right direction. I had one acquaintance have luck using an essential oil called Valor with her son, but based on your description of his diet I think that should be the primary focus.

My son wet the bed every night of his life until he was about 11. We started the pills then for a sleep over camp for school. Sometimes worked, sometimes didn't. Had tried alarms and all kinds of things before. He was constipated as well. He added fiber to his diet. The powder you mix in with water. He pooped every day so I didn't think he was. The dr said the bowels push on the bladder. He also had a very strong bladder muscle. This muscle should be weak so you feel you have to go. He peed in the office and then did sonogram. His bladder was still half full, but he couldn't feel because that muscle was strong.

Bless his heart being 15. My son is 13 now and very seldom wets. We saw Peggy Jackson and she was great! She is the nurse practitioner at Urology Clinics of N Tx. I know it's a drive for you, but you shouldn't have to come often or get a referral closer to you as any urologist should be able to see the connection. She said she gets kids dry before middle school, but the middle school teachers don't let them go to the bathroom so I got a note allowing him to be released from class to go as they only have 4 minutes between class. She said the have to go during the day to keep that muscle weak.

I would try a hypnotherapist. There are many good ones in the DFW area, and hypnotherapy is not "voodoo stage hypnosis" (I have no idea how stage hypnosis works!) But basically hypnosis boils down to boring the brain in to relaxation (when you are done it feels like you have had a whole body massage) ~ but during the session the hypnotherapist will just give suggestions not to wet the bed during sleep, and to relax the body to produce bowl movements etc. I used hypnotherapy in the past and IT CHANGED MY LIFE, I was the pickiest eater in the world! And a former bedwetter.

*For diet ideas, do chocolate shakes with some fiber in it, he will never know.

You should try taking him to Dr. Amber Brooks. She is a board certified pediatric chiropractor and is located in Dallas. She sees children for a variety of issues but bed wetting, constipation and food issues are all things that she deals with a lot. Their website is www.mychildwellness.com. Phone ###-###-####. I hope this helps!
