Still Bed-Wetting At 8 Yrs Old

Is ANyone else having bed-wetting issue's?

My DD will be 8 in 4 wks. She had lots of day-accidents before diagnosis, those have stopped completely except for when she gets glutened. She has not been dry for 2 nights in a row ever.

We are getting her up at 10:30 at night to use the bathroom , she get's nothing to drink after dinner and she still wets. She is in XL underjams and is now feeling the pressure of "Sleepovers".

We just missed a Girl Scout opportunity and she was devastated. I hesitate to call the Dr's, Last time this discussion was had our Pedi said "wait it out another year and see what happens", our GI wanted to send us to a specialty clinic.

Is this common for Celiac's? Any advice?

We have had some of this in our extended family. Summer is a good time to work on it. Look on the internet & there are websites that talk about it.

What helped for some kids was some "bladder enlargeing & muscle training". When you feel the need to pee, hold it another 10 -30 minutes. When you pee, stop & start. Sometimes a month or 2 of this will really help.

Im not sure if this is assosiated with celiac but I can certainly sympathize with your daughter, I was a bedwetter till...well lets just say I had my period and STILL wet the bed. Don't let them tell you to wait another year it is really hard on a little girl. Im my case I was always told I was lazy, too deep a sleeper, drinking too much before bed etc..

when they finally took it seriously and I was mortified by it completely the doctor actually examined me and realized my bladder was the size of and infants!

He prescribed some medication that encourages the bladder to grow (sorry I don't know what it is called-but I have seen it advertised in magazines) and voila never had a problem since...

I'm not saying that is her problem but have them check the size of her bladder itself. I don't have celiac (or at least I had a negative blood result after my brother and son were diagnosed)

I was actually going to talk to my doctor tomorrow about my own little one who is having a hard time with potty training and I was wondering at what point can they tell if her bladder is or isn't developing. She goes to the potty and two minutes later can pee her pants...thinking she may have the same problem as mommy did.

Good luck with this and hopefully for your DD sake you find answers soon, if it makes her feel better let her know when I was that age there was no such thing as underjammies! lol I learned how to wash bedding and pj's by myself at a very young age. lol

My son had this problem. He does have celiac, and it does run in families, but I do not know of any celiac relationship.

The pad and bell worked wonderfully for us. It was like a magic cure. You have to work with the program by getting up with the child and washing their face and completely waking them up, but after several times, they get it and start controlling their bladder.

My oldest had never been dry a day in his life at night since he was born till he was a little over 6 years old. I was potty trainging his little brother at the time and thought it would be a good chance for him too. I bought an enuresis alarm by Malem it worked great. In the booklet that came with it it said it could take up to several months to be sucessfull. My son was dry at night in two weeks! I hung onto it after in case we needed it for the youngest one. Once he was potty trained he was broke both night and day so I didn't need it anymore. I was able to sell the unit as the sensor is replaceable. I am glad to say my oldest is 10 now and has been dry at night since. Here are a few links to the alarms.

My daughter was completely dry during nights and then started having tummy problems (which led to the Celiac diagnosis). She started wetting the bed during that time and I've always wondered if there was a Celiac connection. Our doctor prescribed desmopressin. Within a few weeks she was completely dry all night and hasn't had problems since. We started it after she turned 8 yrs old by the way. Best of luck.

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      Maybe they can attribute certain skin conditions to either being susceptible to getting Celiac......or the other way around....but I have to ask if certain people are prone to Celiac because of genetics and some people aren't. It's kind of the same thing as what came first.....the chicken or the egg.?

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      @xxnonamexx, There's labeling on those Trubar gluten free high fiber protein bars that say: "Manufactured in a facility that also processes peanuts, milk, soy, fish, WHEAT, sesame, and other tree nuts." You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities. If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering...

      Issues before diagnosis

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac...

      Celiac Disease Patients Face Higher Risk of Systemic Lupus

      What kind of practitioner did the blood test? Was this a medical doctor, a naturopathic doctor, a GI doc? I would certainly follow up with them and ask why they advised you not to eat red meat. I mean, it could be something like they, themselves, are a vegetarian and give that advice to everyone. Have you had an endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      @EndlessSummer, You said you had an allergy to trees. People with Birch Allergy can react to green beans (in the legume family) and other vegetables, as well as some fruits. Look into Oral Allergy Syndrome which can occur at a higher rate in Celiac Disease. Switching to a low histamine diet for a while can give your body time to rid itself of...

You may want to avoid products made in shared facilities.   If you are trying to add more fiber to your diet to ease constipation, considering eating more leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables.  Not only are these high in fiber, they also are good sources of magnesium.  Many newly diagnosed are low in magnesium and B vitamins and suffer with constipation.  Thiamine Vitamin B1 and magnesium work together.  Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to improve intestinal health.  Thiamine and magnesium are important to gastrointestinal health and function.

      Welcome to celiac.com @sha1091a! Your experience is a very common one. Celiac disease is one the most underdiagnosed and misdiagnosed medical conditions out there. The reasons are numerous. One key one is that its symptoms mimic so many other diseases. Another is ignorance on the part of the medical community with regard to the range of symptoms that celiac disease can produce. Clinicians often are only looking for classic GI symptoms and are unaware of the many other subsystems in the body that can be damaged before classic GI symptoms manifest, if ever they do. Many celiacs are of the "silent" variety and have few if any GI symptoms while all along, damage is being done to their bodies. In my case, the original symptoms were elevated liver enzymes which I endured for 13 years before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. By the grace of God my liver was not destroyed. It is common for the onset of the disease to happen 10 years before you ever get a diagnosis. Thankfully, that is slowly changing as there has developed more awareness on the part of both the medical community and the public in the past 20 years or so. Blessings!

      I found out the age of 68 that I am a celiac. When I was 16, I had my gallbladder removed when I was 24 I was put on a medication because I was told I had fibromyalgia.   going to Doctor’s over many years, not one of them thought to check me out for celiac disease. I am aware that it only started being tested by bloodwork I believe in the late 90s, but still I’m kind of confused why my gallbladder my joint pain flatulent that I complained of constantly was totally ignored. Is it not something that is taught to our medical system? It wasn’t a Doctor Who asked for the test to be done. I asked for it because of something I had read and my test came back positive. My number was quite high.Are there other people out here that had this kind of problems and they were ignored?

      Welcome to celiac.com, @EndlessSummer! Do you react to all vegetables or just specific kinds or families of them? What you describe with green beans sounds like it has an anaphylaxis component. Like you, walnuts are a problem for me. They will often give me a scratchy throat so I try to avoid them. Does it matter if the vegies are raw or will-cooked in how you react to them?
