An overlooked reason for bed wetting is food allergies or even food sensitivities. A big player is cow’s milk. Dairy can irritate a bladder, causing it to swell and not hold as much. During the day a child (or even adult) may do fine going to the restroom, but while in deep sleep, the bladder can’t hold it through the night.
Other signs of dairy sensitivity
- Allergic “shiners”-dark circles under the eyes.
- Bowl problems-constipation, diarrhea, gas, colic
- Ear infections
- Respiratory problems
- Eczema
Milk alternatives include soy milk, goats milk, and low lactose milk. Some may tolerate dairy in the morning, but not in the afternoon or evening.
