Guest guest Posted June 17, 2012 Report Share Posted June 17, 2012 I ran across this article on another forum and thought of all the times I've heard parents worry about bedwetting. The article, from Slate, says that one often over-looked reason for bedwetting is constipation. It does a better job that I can of explaining the whys but I thought it made sense particularly given the low muscle tone that often accompanies Down syndrome. http://www.slate.com/articles/life/family/2012/03/bed_wetting_the_simple_cause_y\ our_doctor_probably_missed_.html In retrospect, I believe that constipation probably played a bigger a part in my son's toilet training than I ever realized.
