Around the same time we started LOD (low oxalate diet), I made some changes to

his zinc schedule. I will have to see if this coincides. It would be great if

that was it! Thanks for sharing!

Hi ,

Is your son on a zinc supplement? My child was not night time trained

until we changed her zinc from a bedtime supplement to a morning (or

noontime) supplement. I told another mom of an ASD child about this, and

she made the same change and it was the key to her child staying dry all

night too.

By the way, what is LOD?
