Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 My 8 yo child has been urinating himself.3 times in the last few days(this has happened on and off the last few years).What is interesting is I was helping him hurry along AFTER he used the toilet and as I helped him with his underwear his urine just started leaking.He seemed totally unaware.It has happened a few times. Brief history- 4 UTI's before age 5,saw urologist not much help,4 cases of Thrush when he was also very young.Recently he has had infection and just finished a round of antibiotics.When we do urine samples he often has elevated white blood cell count(inflammation). One doctor actually suggested he may be pre-diabetic at one point.But when tested it was negative. My question-do any of your children have diabetes or are experiencing these symptoms???PLEASE HELP! Thanks to all!Jake's Mom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 For what it's worth, our 5 yr old (who has not had any UTIs - though we had him tested twice) had many accidents and odd urinating behavior during the first 20 rds of chelation. The behavior you describe below is familiar. Our son had 3 accidents in one day at school, had accidents right after he used the toilet at home. in addition, he wet himself several times while walking down the street, stood in the waiting room at OT and peed his pants right there (and laughed) and stood in the hallway at home and peed through the door onto the bathroom floor! Sometime after 20 rounds and 6 months it stopped. When all this happened he had been potty trained for about a year.

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 My 6 yr old sometimes had urinary accidents when we first started chelation, and also sometimes with really bad yeast. If he just finished antibiotics (for UTI? Ear infection? What?) my guess would be that chances are he is raging with yeast and needs some serious antifungals and ramped up probiotics. Also, if he was rushed at all, as you hurried him, perhaps he just wasn't done emptying his bladder. And as well, it could always be a sensory issue - not feeling that last little bit of urine still there. > > My 8 yo child has been urinating himself.3 times in the last few days(this has happened on and off the last few years).What is interesting is I was helping him hurry along AFTER he used the toilet and as I helped him with his underwear his urine just started leaking.He seemed totally unaware.It has happened a few times. > > Brief history- 4 UTI's before age 5,saw urologist not much help,4 cases of Thrush when he was also very young.Recently he has had infection and just finished a round of antibiotics.When we do urine samples he often has elevated white blood cell count(inflammation). > > One doctor actually suggested he may be pre-diabetic at one point.But when tested it was negative. > > My question-do any of your children have diabetes or are experiencing these symptoms???PLEASE HELP! > > Thanks to all!Jake's Mom > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 I don't know about diabetes. I do know that urine control is a neurological function and that with UTIs having an alkalized body will help. Can you test his urine pH? Also, I know that after exposure to my mother-in-laws lawn that was treated with the herbicide Atrazine, required nightly sprays of PCA-Rx (10 sprays per night) in order to not wet the bed. She would go potty directly before going to sleep and would wake me around 2 am having wet the bed, without knowing it, and then would still be able to urinate quite a bit, even though the bed was totally soaked. That said, are you doing anything differently with diet, exposures, chelation, etc.?

Guest guest Posted January 6, 2010 Report Share Posted January 6, 2010 My DD had problems with this for a couple of years. In her case, she just seemed to lose control at age 5 after a couple of years of being in control and like your son, she said she couldn't feel the need to pee nor the peeing itself. This problem went away after 13 months of treating it biomedically. Yeast was definitely a factor for her but ultimately I think the problem was neurological like another poster said. She had yeast/dysbiosis, was very reactive to foods (especially high sulfur foods & dairy), she was probably also chemically sensitive and I'm guessing that all this was affecting the centre of control in her brain somehow. At any rate, dietary restrictions, yeast control, supplements and chelation are what made this problem go away. I also noted in my records that the problem stopped just after I started giving DD higher doses of Vit A. I don't know if this is a coincidence, because I started doing this after 12 months of all the other things, but at any rate, thankfully this problem is behind us now. DD never had any UTIs so the problem seemed central to me and not related to her bladder. You don't mention if you're chelating, if your son is on a restrictive diet? Are you treating him for yeast? If not, then addressing yeast is a good place to start. Reduce or eliminate yeast-feeding foods and give him yeast-control supplements like Candidase, GSE or OOO.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2010 Report Share Posted January 7, 2010 In my opinion, this definitely sounds like yeast. Right after I started chelating myself, I noticed that I felt like I was going to lose bladder control even after I had just emptied my bladder. It happened a few times. I think what is really going to help is a diet low in sweets and increasing your yeast protocol. My friend and I are making homemade sauerkraut and coconut kefir and these seem to be great foods for probiotics.
