My 4 year old daughter has been having constipation problems for a few years now, which has lead her to have issues with her bladder. She wets herself almost on a daily basis, sometimes it may only be a small leakage, other times she fully wets herself. I have the constipation under control but the bladder issues continue. She was fully toilet trained for around 8 months before the bladder problems began.

She also has very hyperactive behaviour, both in and out of school. She can be fine and calm one minute then its like something switches and she gets really hyper, which is sometimes hard to control, her teacher in school has complained a number of times the last few weeks about her. Her behaviour can be very impulsive and she does things that surprise me, it can be very unpredictable what she does next.

I have celiac disease, so we had blood tests done on her but they were negative. I’m maybe thinking she may have gluten sensitivity.

Does anyone have any experience of bladder/hyperactive behaviour with a gluten sensitive child? Did cutting gluten out help with symptoms?

Many thanks in advance.
