Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Hi Beth Two thoughts on this, Firstly I think generally our kids sweat alot more than other kids, I think most parents would agree, this could be the reason wants to drink so much when she is active. It is summer in Australia now and Liam is constantly asking for water, I have to keep him inside and some days with the airconditioner on to control the fluid he looses in sweat. The second thing is, from my experience with Liam who is just toilet trained, if he is constipated he pees alot more often and smaller amounts, because his bowel is pushing on his bladder and it doesnt hold as much. constipation being another RSS trait. I personally would not think added salt would stop feelings of thirst, it may stop needing to pee because she is retaining more fluid. I dont know to much about celtic salt though.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2005 Report Share Posted January 30, 2005 Jody, I have to agree. Matt seems to pee a lot (including not dry at night) which may have more sensory issues than SGA. BUT, he seems to go through spurts where he pees a lot. No one has really believed me, and all the urine tests come back ok, so I guess it isn't a big deal. Just strange, tho. Beth H.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Beth, Your post about peeing alot brought back a memory for me. When was a toddler & we were potty training him, he used to pee in small spurts & then want to go often. Finally, one day I took him to the potty & when he did his small spurt, I asked him if he oculd go more & he did. I kept asking him if he could go more & this went on for about 5 times. I couldn't understand why he didn't do it all at once if he had that much uring in his bladder. I took him to a urologist, and everything checked out fine. He did a voiding urethrocystogram (forgive me if this is not the right test, but this was many years ago) which was normal. I never did get an answer as to why he did this, but I guess this habit stopped at some point. Kim C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 4, 2005 Report Share Posted February 4, 2005 Beth, I find your posts interesting and informative. Destiny is one of the more mild RSS kids, on the charts and more height than weight challenged. We have not been involved in team sports. Destiny has achived a brown belt in taekwondo.We felt that a sport that relied more on personal victories and competeing against ones own past performance was best for her. She is turning six tommorow and that gives her another year before she must compete against her peers in tournaments. The nature of the sport so far has not resulted in more frequent pee breaks. I would reccomend taekwondo through the ATA to anyone. As passionate as you are about the diet in Life Without Bread and celtic sea salt, that's just how impassioned I feel about the ATA. I have seen kids with disabilities from autism to RSS to acondroplsia to ADHD to mongoloidism etc etc etc just bloom with confidence and pride in this program that stresses self-esteem, focus, integrity, and other life skills over the basics of martial arts. mom to Destiny, now six, RSS, and a host of others Salt & Sports I'm curious if other parents have experienced the same problem with sports. Almost two years ago wanted desperately to play organized soccer. With much trepidation we agreed and we watched as our little peanut tried keeping up with her teammates. She was determined not to let her size be a deterrent and made it through the season unscathed. My question for everyone, during sport activities does your child have to take multiple pee breaks and drink lots of fluids? as compared to her teammates was like a peeing machine, but not with much in the way of volume. This past season we noted a dramatic change to where she takes no pee breaks. We analyzed it and can only attribute it to her drinking the Celtic Sea Salt and lemon mix I posted earlier.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 Hi , Thanks for the compliment; I'm surprised that with some of my rather " lengthy " posts some have not used them to cure their insomnia. It's great that Destiny is involved in taekwondo, I firmly believe that sports are an important component in helping RSS kids, and the self-esteem and other acquired traits are also so valuable. This should come in handy with she gets to the dating age. Many studies show that more muscular individuals have lower insulin resistance, so I hope Destiny keeps up the good work.
