Question: My daughter has been bed wetting since childhood. She’s an adult now and due to be married. A Bio Resonance Therapy (Bi- Com) test done abroad gave us to understand that this may be due to an allergic reaction to certain foods which she should avoid. The big question before me as an anxious parent, is how to secure a complete cure. Physically she is OK. Her abdominal ultrasonography test of abdomen including pelvis, urinary bladder, etc, are normal.
Answer: You are indeed facing a perplexing problem. Normally primary enuresis (bedwetting) settles by the age of 12 to 15 years, of age. If it is continuing beyond this then she needs to be re evaluated, with Sonography to rule out any structural abnormalities. Neurological testing to check for an spinal cord abnormalities like spina bifida occulta. Urological testing to check for function and stability of the detrusor muscle (that is the muscle of the bladder which prompts bladder emptying). Psychological assessment to check for any underlying anxiety or attention seeking problems. Mainstream medicine has never associated bedwetting with food allergies. Among the more effective ways of preventing bed wetting, is to wake up the child to use the toilet, or install an alarm system designed to condition him or her to wake up before wetting such as a bell triggered by a wet mattress.
