Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 -- D-Mannose, which I just posted on, is a concentrated form of the factor that works in cranberry juice, minus the calories, sugar, and any factors that may cause problems in the long run. D-Mannose is safe to use for long-term use, safe for pregnant women, used by women who have chronic issues related to sexual activities, safe for children. -- At 01:55 AM 6/1/2010, you wrote: >To help the UTIs, while you work out why they are occuring, cranberry >juice works really well for quickly getting rid of UTIs.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 - We found hypothyroidism to be one of the pieces to the puzzle for my son. He as 7 years old when we had him dx'd as hypothyroid. His basal body temps were 95.7 degrees. He is now 10 1/2 years old and is on 2 grains of Nature-throid. When we started him on / and got him to the right dose to eliminate his symptoms (constipation, low energy, cold temps, fatigue, wouldn't eat) then the incidents of nocturnal enuresis were very limited. They finally quit totally when we took him off gluten. We later found out that he also has allergies to milk and eggs. Food allergies can contribute to it as well. I think it was a combo for him. Dr. Mark Starr talks about traditional doctors like Hertoge that stated nocturnal enuresis is a sign of hypoT issues. www.naturalthyroidchoices.com Bedwetting Is there a connection between thyroid and bedwetting? This I did not know. I have an 8 year old who is bedwetting every night. Out of 5 kids, this is the only one I've experienced this with. Also, many UTI's if she goes even one day without drinking enough water...and she does not like to drink. Probiotics seem helpful to suppress infection symptoms if I am consistent in giving them to her daily. She is very sluggish in the morning and could sleep until noon if I did not wake her. But, like me, she is wide awake and night and not the least bit ready for bed...maybe adrenal issues, too.I have not given her iodine, but I could do the patch test to see how she does. Also, because of her age, I have not had any blood tests done on her yet, but maybe I should get her thyroid tested.Anyone, please tell me about the bedwetting conneciton. I want to learn more about that. I have been praying for an answer to that for her for so long.Thanks!Donna Iler wrote: Hi Steph! ....

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Hi, sorry I have only just seen this message. There is most definitely a connection with bedwetting and thyroid/adrenal issues for some children. My daughter wet the bed (well SOAKED the bed actually) every night. She went through training with and alarm, urodynamic testing and even the sesmopressin spray which although supposed to stop urination at night was totally ineffectual for her. At the age of twelve she began Armour thyroid and hydrocortisone. despite previously seeing several Doctors who all refused to believe that she could possibly have any hormonal deficiencies as her blood tests were " perfectly normal " . Upon seeing an " alternative " Doctor it was clear that she was both hypothyroid and hypoadrenal. The bedwetting stopped practically overnight. I should also mention she finally started putting on weight, looking healthier, feeling normal mentally, growing and developing properly etc etc. Her veruccas cleared up (after several years of plaguing her) and her constant illnesses also stopped. Of course I know this isn't the answer to all bedwetting problems but if everything else has been ruled out or you think there are clear clinical signs of thyroid or adrenal disease (and they often go together of course) it is something worth persuing. -- > > > > > >Is there a connection between thyroid and bedwetting?

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Thanks ! Believe me, with 4 children and 20+ years, we have done everything! The only thing I could not find a doctor to check was sleep disorder. No one would do a sleep test on a child unless they had heart problems. Maybe that has changed, I have not checked that in 10 years. After trying lots of things, the answer kept being “be patient, he will outgrown it at ____ years.” Well, first it was 10, then 12, then 15, then 18. Now I hear stories of adults still having this problem. My oldest stopped at 14, two others at 8 & 12 after using an alarm. This son actually stopped for a year after using an alarm, but then started again and nothing has worked since then. My mother and husband struggled with this, and were humiliated by their families. We have worked very hard to not do that. Not like he wants this! I am thankful that it is not worse health problems, but would really like to see an end for his sake. Today we go to the doctor with his bloodwork results, hopefully will start NDT. Donna in IL Hi, sorry I have only just seen this message.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 You might be able to find something useful in this link: Scroll down to find bedwetting. I posted earlier to take raw apple cider vinegar and raw honey. This link offers enzyme therapy as a solution but ACV and honey would probably do the job.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2010 Report Share Posted June 1, 2010 Interesting that cranberry works but it also stops calcium absorption..... MILK has been said to cause bedwetting issues and I believe it is due to a high-calcium-to-low-magnesium ratio that causes hypercalcemia. Hypercalcuria (too much calcium excreted in urine) can be a cause of bedwetting. (Hypercalcuria will also cause recurrent uti's.) People who bed wet have been found to have increased prostaglandins. These hormone-like messengers serve as catalysts for the movement of calcium in and out of cells! Bedwetters excrete larger amounts of sodium- there is abnormal renal handling of sodium. Excess calcium in urine is not the only reason. Excessive aldosterone hormone from the adrenal glands will cause increased reabsorption of sodium/water, and releases too much potassium. Hypokalemia (low serum potassium) results. Diabetes is also another common cause of bedwetting as sodium urine levels are affected here also. As others have said, food allergy, (probably MILK/soy or wheat) and sleep apnea also can affect it. Magnesium acts as a chemical gate blocker and helps with over-calcium issues. It also helps diabetes. Taking vit B and good oils (olive/coconut) and eliminating manmade oils (canola/corn/soy/safflower/veg,ect) help create good prostglandins and reduce antagonistic prostglandins- the antagonistic prostglandins are made from arachidonic acid obtained from animal products like meat, milk (there is that milk issue again) and man-made liquid unsaturated cooking oils.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Reading through the bedwetting stuff is tough. I had one (first born-way before I was diagnosed with anything other than an overactive imagination.. and a goiter) who did that. He seemed to trade it out for sleepwalking, though. Any thyroid/adrenal/iodine connection there? We are working with a doc who just put him on Cortisol for adrenal exhaustion (at 14) and he has been taking Armour for a year now (2grains). I noticed the changes in his behavior after running out of Armour for a few weeks. Amazing how chaotic things became (3 kids, and a mom, without Armour for three weeks) That was when I ralized that the ARmour made a difference for them. But we have really noticed changes since he started the cortisol (10mg) a few weeks ago. I was told that taking care of these issues and correcting mineral deficiencies should help with the ADD type symptoms. Now, if I could just get him to do his homework... Perhaps with some more adrenal support, that too will change... It took me a long time to get him the tests he needed. And it isn't a standard doc who is helping us now.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 You are welcome. Just one comment though - Our daughter was perfectly healthy by normal Doctor's standards -all thyroid and adrenal blood tests were " normal " . It was only when we saw a Hertoghe type Doc that she was diagnosed as hypothyroid and hypoadrenal and a trial of thyroid hormone was started. Our normal docs have never accepted it still! Just something for you to be aware of. Many people are actually hypothyroid despite a normal blood test and the same goes for adrenal fatigue. I'm not sure how much you already know about all that stuff - you may already be aware of it but just in case www.stopthethyroidmadness.com is a good place to start. As someone else mentioned Dr Mark Starr writes well on this subject and his book is very good. > > Thanks ! > > Believe me, with 4 children and 20+ years, we have done everything!

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 You have all been SO helpful with good suggestions regarding the bedwetting. Thank you, all! I really appreciate the support. I would say that my daughter shows definite signs of hypoadrenalism and/or hypothyroidism, just like I have. Her hands can feel like ice cubes much of the time. I will take her temp sometime to see what it really is, but it has to be very low. I have D-Mannose in a product called PL U-Tract Complex. I came across it recently and picked some up hoping it could be a help. The directions say to take 4 caps (2000mg Mannose) 3/day...total of 12 caps/day. I have a few questions about this. First of all, how do those who are taking this supplement use it? Do you take it daily, and in similar doses as described? Or do you take it only when symptoms arise? I have not yet given my 8 year-old nearly the amount suggested on the bottle, and I have not done it on a daily basis either. Perhaps some insight from others would help me know how to use it and when. I often treat her UTI symptoms at home, since they can happen fairly regularly. The times when she was tested with a urine culture, she had e-coli several times. But one time she had pseudomonas aurigenosa, which was treated with an antibiotic. One interesting thing was that the time she was treated for this, the bed wetting stopped. Once she was done with the antibiotic, it started again. That was several years ago, and the bedwetting is nightly. There might occasionally be a dry night, but then she normally develops UTI symptoms (due to not drinking sufficient amounts of water). So, she can be dry with UTI symptoms or wet without. I choose the wet without UTI symptoms, so I do not limit (but rather push) water in the evening, as it is such a chore to get her to drink much at all. I have tried so many things for the bed-wetting. We tried chiropractic, since this has been known to help in some cases. I used cranberry, but my naturopathic doctor said that was not what was needed in her case. I could have her tested for the D-Mannose to see how that works for her (using applied kinesiology). She mentioned vitamin C, probiotics, and GABA were supplements that seemed to be helpful for her body. It sounds like the whole gut/brain connection could be coming into play. Vitamin C could be related to inflammation as well as adrenal problems. My entire family of 7 has been found to have weak adrenals. I have diagnosed my own sub-clinical hypothyroidism several years ago, though the test results were "normal." I found a doctor that started me on NT, and I've been using Iodoral and Isocort, also. I am wondering how much of these same things my daughter will need. I have not done any labwork on her as of yet, and perhaps I should. I will take her back to the naturopathic doc first, perhaps, to see if she thinks her thyroid needs help, or if it is just adrenal. All members of our family are also low on iron (we now take Ultimate Iron) and most are low on Vitamin D (which we supplement). I will try the apple cider/honey water. It can't hurt. And perhaps I should get the Hypothyroidism Type II book. I figured I knew most of what would be in there, with my decade-or-more quest regarding my own thyroid/adrenal issues, but perhaps there are new things in there that will help my daughter. I find that if I keep my daughter on kefir on a regular basis, we don't have so much trouble with UTI's. When she does get them, I flush her out with tons of water, give her some other antibacterial supplements and probiotics, and recently added a little of the D-Mannose. We have all started on kombucha daily, too, which I hope will help with enzymes, pH and probiotics. I have to admit that for a few years now, I have wondered if the RO water we drink exclusively could be adding to our health problems. My youngest daughter has had nothing but this type of water on a daily basis. She is likely depleted of many minerals. I am now using unrefined salts (with the valuable minerals) and might start using the sole (salt-saturation water solution) daily for all of us. Hope this will help to boost her mineral balance. I need to read the salt recommendations on this list. I have not read the newbie documents and want to do so. One last thing that I have questioned with the bed wetting is this. We have had some experiences with tick bites in our family. I know quite a bit about the tick-related bacterias and diseases from a friend who has Lyme disease, or more accurately borreliosis. Her daughter had also struggled with bedwetting for a very long time. As an adult, now, she has also been diagnosed with Lyme disease. I guess it is common for children with tick bacteria to experience bedwetting as a symptom. That has been in the back of my mind as well. I don't know if anyone on this list has any experience that is similar regarding this. Any other thoughts on this subject are appreciated. I am glad to learn about the thyroid connection because somehow I was unaware of that. Blessings to you all, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If she doesn't currently have symptoms and you would like to prevent symptoms, and she has a history of frequent UTI, then fewer capsules is fine. It seems that 2000mg/day is considered a maintenance/preventative dose for those who have a pattern of UTIs, at least for 3 months to re-set the body. Then some recommend 500mg/day, and gradually moving it downwards to find the sweet zone, to where some ppl just take 500mg once a week. > She mentioned vitamin C, probiotics, and GABA were supplements that > seemed to be helpful for her body.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 If you or a family member develop a UTI, it may not be necessary to queue at the doctor's office or at the pharmacy. You can surely treat the UTI with iodine. Several months ago I neglected to ensure adequate water intake and developed a UTI. I noticed blood in the urine and pain and spasm upon voiding. It was too late in the day to get an appointment at the doctor's office, and I wasn't keen to go to the ER. At that time, I hadn't started on Lugol's drops and had only 2% tincture of iodine on hand. 4:00 pm – noticed the condition painted 2% iodine tincture to an area the size of my palm on each forearm Started pushing water intake 6:00 pm – Noticed that voiding was less painful Painted again 8:00 pm Noticed that urine looked clearer Painted again 10:00 pm Noticed that urine was crystal clear No pain on voiding I just made sure to continue to drink plenty of water into the next day and I was fine. If I had had Lugol's drops, I would have painted with that. I'm not sure whether oral Lugol's would have resolved the UTI any faster. Transdermal iodine probably starts to reach the kidneys and bladder sooner and may maintain levels over a more sustained period. --- In iodine , Osmond <sayitwell@...> wrote: >[snip] > > I often treat her UTI symptoms at home, since they can happen fairly > regularly.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 You are all so very helpful. Thank you again! So, let me understand what I think I am hearing stated. Is it correct to say that UTIs themselves can be brought on by lack of iodine, or am I misunderstanding that piece? It sounds like I must get Dr. Brownstein's Book to fully understand this connection, or is the HT Type II more pertinent on this topic? I thought that the UTIs were probably more connected to lack of good gut bacteria, which could also be part of the equation, I suppose. But the lack of iodine, I had not connected. But if hypothyroidism is connected to bedwetting, I guess that makes sense that bedwetting can be a result of low iodine in general (which is what the thyroid hormones are composed of, right?) Here is something that I have pondered for a while now. Since I showed Strep B in an early pregnancy urine culture with this daughter, I was infused with mega-doses of antibiotics at her birth. This went on for hours, for the whole duration of the labor and delivery. I just read that babies are introduced to their good intestinal floral in the birthing process, which she would not have gotten any of from me. I have always wondered if somehow she never developed a sufficient amount of gut flora, since these UTIs keep creeping up so easily. But I was not aware of the iodine piece either. None of my other 4 children have had issues like this, but others do have signs of functional hypothyroidism. I should probably also get some of them on the extra supplements to help the T4 to T3 conversion. I do believe that many of us have issues with that. I am on all of the extra supplements, but they are not. I have also read about estrogen dominance issues being associated with bedwetting, in which cod liver oil is recommended. This I do give her, in the fermented form, which is balanced in A & D. I do know that as an infant, she had signs of high estrogen, and I was taking soy protein drinks daily throughout that pregnancy and during the first several months of nursing, until I realized the issues with that. Just some more thoughts I've considered regarding this issue over the years. I think you've pointed me in a good direction. I would be so thankful if giving iodine to my daughter was a step in the right direction to ending the bedwetting. I am already giving it to one of my older children who tested low in iodine with applied kinesiology. He also has many hypothyroid symptoms but normal blood tests. Perhaps I should consider having some of us take the iodine loading and bromide tests at some time to pinpoint what our actual issues are.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 Hi, , An iodine-sufficient person will be less likely than an iodine-deficient person to suffer UTI's, or indeed any sort of infection -- first, because of the direct antiseptic effect of the iodine, and second, because the thyroid will be better supported. According to Dr. Broda in his classic book, Hypothyroidism: The Unsuspected Illness, it's known that a euthyroid individual suffers far fewer infections than a hypothyroid one. I agree with you that UTI's can be related to a lack of good intestinal flora, but that situation is easy to fix. I wish you much joy and success with your family. . > > You are all so very helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 -- so glad you are finding help. At least 85% of the world's population is deficient in iodine, and iodine is required for metabolism (thyroid). Iodine is the fuel for the engine of the body, the thyroid. And it's also used by most of the organs, the skin, and in cell apoptosis. Health cannot exist without iodine. So your family will all no doubt benefit from iodine supplementation. Many parents on this list are giving it to their children. I wouldn't depend on iodine to clear a UTI at this point, but I have been getting stronger in every way since I began iodine, including UT. Highly recommend. -- At 05:24 PM 6/3/2010, you wrote: >You are all so very helpful. Thank you again! > >So, let me understand what I think I am hearing stated.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I have a history of periodically having problems. I have only been taking iodine for a few months (50+mg), but I have had some twinges during that time that D-Mannose took care of. All I'm saying is, iodine may cure the problem, but it hasn't in the several months for me so far, and D-Mannose instantly ends any problems I'm having. I just don't think anyone who has chronic problems should expect the iodine to work straight off and it would be good to be armed with something really positive like d-mannose. I'm also exploring whether or not it may also have an effect on candida, because of what I've seen in myself. The Waterfall D-Mannose site (UK) says in their FAQ: >Q. Does Waterfall D-Mannose feed Candida? > >A. No. But it's not a treatment for Candida either. However, what we've >found is that people who use Waterfall D-Mannose on a regular basis as a >preventative against urine infections, don't seem to get Candida problems. >This is probably because as an essential glyconutrient, Waterfall >D-Mannose could help boost the immune system, and by preventing >reinfection, prevents you having to take antibiotics again, which are a >known cause of Candida overgrowth. -- At 10:36 PM 6/3/2010, you wrote: >i have a history of UTI's and i had an issue with my kidneys in that i >form stones....anyway since starting iodine (almost 1 year ago). 50 mg..i >have not had one single stone or UTI...not even a twinge....just fyi... > > > >You are all so very helpful.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 Hi, I am the lady who's daughter responded so well to the thyroid and adrenal treatment fr her bedwetting. I noticed you mentioned the estrogen and the soy. My daughter too was almost definitely estrogen dominant at that time and had spent her first 7 years on soy as she was dairy intolerant. (I didn't know any better back then unfortunately). So maybe that had something to do with it. Soy is also goitrogenic (bad for the thyroid) so it all fits together for me. > > You are all so very helpful. Thank you again! > > So, let me understand what I think I am hearing stated.

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2010 Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 I heard an advertisment on the radio for a podudct called Kidney Drops. I wounde if that would work. Also cranberry juice is good to counteract UTI as well as the tea.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Just curious if any of your kids wet the bed and if the doctor has said it could be related to the JRA? If you are uncomfortable disclosing this information, please e-mail me privately. My daughter is 11, and she still wets the bed. I don't think there would be a connection, but just wondering.

Guest guest Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 I don't think it was related to JRA but such a sound sleeper. wet the bed until 8 to 9 yrs old . He got so big that we tried adult sized diapers but they leaked through. After about 2 weeks of nothing and him waking up wet, he started learning on his own and suddenly stopped.IT is a hardship of washing bedding every day but in our case it was waking up wet and going to the couch and staying dry. I do not think this is a JIA issue but a common childhood issue.Be prepared to do lots of laundry but let him wet himself and learn to wake up when he has to pee.
