Too Much Pee?

This is such an odd question, bu it seems like all of a sudden ds's diapers are leaking at night. Nothing in his bedtime routine has changed. He always gets a diaper change, then a bedtime bottle. Last night he peed 3 times while getting his diaper changed, didn't get a bedtime bottle, and his diaper still leaked by 2am!

Does anyone know if the amount peed, has anything to do with the amount of nutrients being absorbed by the body? I could be completely be off my rocker, but we changed his diet last week, and eliminated all the foods he was allergic too. Could this mean his body is starting to absorb nutrients it wasn't before?

The amount of pee produced has nothing to with nutrient absorbtion - but rather fluid intake. Especially in a child.

Is he active and alert - has an appetite? Perhaps when you eliminated the foods he was allergic to - his appetite did improve (becasue he feels better) and is eating more of the foods he can tolerate - and those foods have a lot of moisture ??)

If he seems tired, has dark circles under his eyes and the excessive pee continues - I would get him checked ASAP... to find out the cause.

Excessive urination can also be an indicator of diabetes (as is excessive thirst and always being hungry), so I would definitely keep an eye on it!

Thanks I will. Lately he has been non-stop hungry and thirsty. Obviously I should not be jumping to conclusions, but I will keep my eye on it.

I think I am so used now to something being "wrong" I am starting to become overly.......paranoid if that is the right word.

How old is he?

With both of my sons, there just suddenly came a point where they were peeing a lot more, and had a leaky diaper most of the time. I can't remember exactly how old they were when this happened, but it seemed evident that it was a developmental thing- particularly because after this went on for several months, then they would start to longer between peeing.... then when they did pee it would be even more.

Just a thought.

A child with Celiac is at a much higher risk for Type 1 diabetes. I would get him screened ASAP. Type 1 diabetes in very young children often leads to "flu-like" symptoms and coma fairly quickly if left untreated. Don't take the risk. Type 1 diabetes is easily screened for.

It may be nothing, but better to be safe than sorry.

Everyone in my family had a "pee-fest" shortly after going gluten-free. I'm not sure why but it went away on its own.

I also have a "pee-fest" a couple weeks after a glutening after the digestive symptoms have stopped.

Hi,

After reading your thread, I instantly thought diabetes. Since both Celiac and Diabetes are autoimmune disorders and often occur simultaneously in individuals, I would mention to the Dr. ASAP and pursue testing.

Good Luck

Just have to point out that only *Type 1 diabetes* (formerly known as Juvenile or insulin dependent diabetes) is an autoimmune disorder. The common, often"mild" form due to obesity is NOT (Type 2 diabetes). Sorry to point this out, just a touchy subject for me!!!

Agree with you 100% that this is worth a screening ASAP.

      Hi, Were you able to get a response from them? I have written to Nuts.com asking info. om how to they test, etc. I am awaiting a reply. And, my daughter is allergic to tree nuts, so we only buy their straightforward organic dried fruits sans any preservative/additives.

      Rectal pain

      By trents · Posted

      Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

      Rectal pain

      By Kmmmn · Posted

      Sorry, late to the party.  I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59.  This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle.  This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays.  Very weird I know, but it was that regular at times you could set your watch by it.    In my 40's symptoms became less frequent.  I found that by essentially shoving an ice pack up my backside I could get some relief. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Celiac and the PF now occurs pretty much weekly, sometimes more often.  I only just came across this thread so as yet have not mentioned PF to my GI doctor (thought it was just a 'me' thing) but will next time I see him in March.  I feel for you, it is indeed crippling pain.  I am a teacher and I think I have had PF 2 or 3 times in the classroom and have had to call the office for cover until the symptoms and sweating subside.  Good luck.  Hope this helps in some way.

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      By Dulcita · Posted

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that companies that focus on gluten-free foods use a lot of tapioca. If a certain product doesn’t have any tapioca ingredients, they see no reason to list tapioca or its relatives in the “known allergens” or the “produced in a facility that also uses …..” statement — because it hasn’t been designated a known allergen.  They probably don’t even feel it necessary to apply the kind of Best Practices protocols (extra cleaning) to a production line that may have used tapioca in a previous product. So we may be ingesting tapioca when we are eating something, seemingly tapioca free, produced in a gluten-free dedicated facility. Really discouraging.

      Wholefoods 365 Organic Wheatgrass Powder

      By Katya773 · Posted

      Hi Everyone,   I recently purchased this wheatgrass not realizing that it wasn’t gluten free. I had two servings before I got really sick. Abdominal cramps , diarrhea and horrible nausea. My daughter read the label and told me it wasn’t labeled gluten free. I thought this was safe because supposedly it’s healthy. I called WholeFoods and they told me that they can find out more about the product and email me when it was picked and harvested. I was diagnosed back in 2019 and I really should know better! Anyone else had a reaction to wheatgrass powder?
