Bedwetting - Associated With Celiac?

My child has been daytime potty-trained since he was 2. He is almost 6 and still has NO control at night. He doesn't wake up even when he and his bed are soaking wet and his alarm is going off. He wears Pull-ups and they rarely contain the flood, resulting in almost daily sheet changing and washing. We have tried all the advice given and read everything we can... nothing has worked.

He was recently diagnosed with celiac, and casein sentivity as well. In reading about this I note that bedwetting can be one of the issues associated with casein. Is it associated with celiac as well? Anyone have any success stories or advice?

My daughter wet the bed for 13 years. I became a vegan and eventually got my whole family off of animal products. As soon as my daughter stopped consuming milk on a regular basis, the bedwetting stopped. She has not had one accident since. I didn't realize it was the milk until I read about it a year later. I thought she just finally outgrew it like all the doctors have been telling me for years that she would do. It was the milk!

With my daughter it is the celiac disease. She stays away from gluten, she doesn't wet the bed. She gets glutened and she is tee-teeing all the time and wetting the bed at night.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
