Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what heavy urination means. Since starting the diet for my ASD son back in Oct/05 he has had longer periods of heavy urine flow, night especially.Does this indicate something,should I be worried,it stabilizes and then it gets heavy again.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 What is he eating on the days that he has heavy flow, and what is he eating on the days with the lightest flow? How much does he drink on a daily basis before bedtime, volume wise? Does this change night to night? Summer marrazzo5 wrote: Hello, I was wondering if anyone can tell me what heavy urination means.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Someone brought up this subject several years ago... and I seem to remember that magnesium intake was one thing that was connected with night wetting. More or less... getting the balance just right... was the answer for at least one parent here. Just a thought. Patti (OT)heavy urine flow ???

Not to freak you out, but excessive thirst and urination (usually clear, pale yellow, or slightly 'sweet' smelling) can be a hallmark of diabetes in children. While it is most likely not diabetes, you may wan to run this by your doc; just to check it out. -christine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 27, 2006 Report Share Posted May 27, 2006 Always good to rule out other medical problems such as elevated sugars and kidney functions.....But what I have seen is a need for calcium...When removing Calcium (if you have done this ) need to put it back in.. I get night urination +++ with my kids when they do not get 1000 mg of calcium daily.. Sandy Dan Nurse..GFCF environmentally healthy 8+ yrs..SCD 3 MOnths.
