Potty Training Issues

We are having a horrible time with our dd. She just turned 5 and has been pee trained for quite some time. However, bowel issues have been a persistant problem.

We figured that once we got her on a gluten-free diet, things would improve. But, they don't seem to be improving. So, now we are removing dairy from her diet as well.

Has anyone been through a similar situation? We are trying everything, short of punishment (I won't go that route at all) to try and help her. Nothing seems to help. :(

My younger brother, 3 1/2 years old, JUST started to use the potty. It took his doctor yelling at him to get him there! And some cool underwear!

I've heard from a couple of mothers I know that chiropractic adjustment helped, their kids were unable to feel when they had to go. Once their spine was adjusted, their nerves functioned properly and they were trained within a day.

Also, try rewards. When I trained my kids (and my daughter did the same thing), I'd give them a couple of Smarties (substitute any SMALL treat you choose to use) whenever they went. Once they went consistently, I'd 'forget' about the treat, unless they specifically asked for it, and eventually it fizzled out.

I also found that buying them cute underwear helped. Maybe take her shopping and let her choose the underwear she wants for when she has been clean for, say, a day (we don't want to soil your beautiful new panties, right?). But don't make a fuss if she then has an accident, assure her that you'll do your best to get the pretty underwear clean again. Of course, you can't promise you can do it, because sometimes, despite best efforts, it isn't possible.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
