Potty Accidents... Related To Celiac?

We have been struggling with my 4 year old having a lot of urine accidents (multiple a day) for as long as I can remember.  Could this be at all related to celiac?  Anyone else experience this?

I have no clue if it is related to celiac disease or not.

I do not think there is one photo of my baby brother that did not have a wet stain on his pants when he was three and four. He could not be bothered to take time out to use the restroom. It did not bother him to be scolded by his older siblings. He was simply a busy little boy. He also did not talk at all until he was three and then it was full sentences -- adult sentences with a large vocabulary.

The wetting stopped when he went to school. Peer pressure or maturity put an end to that, I guess. He was a bed wetter like so many in our family (generations), at least for those that seem to have no worries. Everyone outgrew it.

My baby brother is brilliant. The genius of the family.

We have found gluten exposure to impact continence. This was true for our super silly girl and is one of her accommodations at school...she gets irritable bladder issues that make her go frequently. It was also true for her younger brother when he was very young, as well as being true for myself.

Wow, it never ceases to amaze me what this disease can do to a person. The symptoms are so varied!

That sounds like what we're dealing with... Will it get better as she heals and is gluten free for longer?

None of us deal with continence issues now. The longer we have been gluten free, the better we have gotten at managing and eliminating potential exposures. That being said, it was such an issue for super silly girl as we were getting smarter about living gluten free that she was regularly checked for UTI and watched for diabetes. It is good to communicate continence issues with your doctor, as there can be other causes. But for our family, getting better at gluten free living was the answer.

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
