The OoO can help, so can OLE.

You can also have him drink cranberry juice.

Perhaps you need to see another Dr, high ketones are first indicative

of type I diabetes, ask your Dr to test his Blood Glucose levels. My

son was Dx'd at 2yo he is now 16yo. Blessings Conrad

My NT son does this periodically. We thought at first it was an

infection, gave cranberry juice, but it didn't seem to help. It would

get so bad at times that we couldn't leave the house because he would

literally have to go every minute or so and be very distressed if he

couldn't go right away. When this is happening, often very little

comes out and he has to really push or work to make it come out. He

is always agitated and easily upset at these times. It would seem to

come and go without any pattern that I could see.

The first clue that I got was one day when it was completely gone, he

had some pineapple on an empty stomach and BAM! he's peeing every 30

seconds or so the rest of the day. I happened to open up Dr Rapp's

book by chance to a page saying that frequent urination can be an

allergic reaction. I discovered son after that that he has

Histadelia, which is high blood levels of histamine, and once on a low

histamine diet the problem went away. Now, if he eats a high

histamine food, the peeing comes right back. Pineapple is extremely

high histamine, as are all berries, tomato products, fish, anything

cultured or fermented or aged, and all the common allergenic foods

such as milk, eggs, and nuts can be (depending on how a person reacts).

I haven't really figured this issue out. Maybe your son is having

allergies? The peeing could be an atypical allergic reaction. At

first I used the diet just a s away to test if this was the problem.

You can also have a blood test done to measure histamine levels. Some

people think think this issue is caused by under-methylation, and can

improve with methylation support. There are also supplements you can

use to flush histamine out of the body (SAM-e is very good for this).

Some people think the high histamine levels just mean that the person

is being exposed to things they're allergic to. I'm suspecting that

this is all tied to yeast overgrowth somehow too. Some other symptoms

of Histadelia are anxiety, obsessive compulsive tendencies (even full

blown OCD), mood swings, depression, sensory issues, restlessness, and

more. Most people seem to only have some of the symptoms. ALso, it

relates to having high copper levels and low zinc levels and seems to

occur often with pyrroluria. It is strongly genetic and adults with

it can have alcoholism, drug addiction, and or mental health issues

(especially depression, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia).
