Seeking Help from Moms of Teenagers Who Are Cured Bedwetters.

Hopefully, there is nothing seriously troubling him. At that age, that should be a concern. Also, maybe he is dreaming that he is using the restroom. Helping him learn to make conscious decisions when awake may help him when he is asleep.

I remember my sister had this problem until she was in 8th grade. Apparently they found she had a reaction to milk and dairy products. She had to stop drinking milk, lay off dairy several hours prior to bed and that seemed to help.

Contact Pacific International, a company based in Canada.

It's 2000 dollars. A comprehensive program that totally works. Odds are your son has a sleeping disorder that causes the bed wetting. Their methodology corrects not only the bed wetting, but the sleep disorder itself, resulting in better sleep permanently.

If the person is dreaming that they are going to the bathroom tell them to pinch themselves on the arm or leg during their dream...like when they're sitting on the toilet, but before they pee, so that he or she can wake themself up. It worked for someone I know personally. If the problem is that they can't tell reality from the dream then they need to try to differentiate between the two and telling themselves "am I awake or dreaming, wait, let me pinch and see..." will get them awake to go to the bathroom. Eventually, they will grow out of it. Also, basics like no fluids at least an hour before bedtime and going to pee before going to bed should always be included. Good Luck. I know it's difficult for everyone involved.

I recommend no fluids after dinner and make him go and empty his bladder before bedtime. He will eventually grow out of it. His bladder has out grown his body instead of growing with his body, causing him to wet the bed. My brother was a bedwetter for years. He finally out grew it when he was sixteen. Soda and Tea and or any caffeinated drinks wear down the bladder and kidney functions. Water increases the functions and cleanses the body of toxins which may cause this problem. Consult your physician as well. There are medications that can be taken to control the bladder, but beware of the side effects.

My oldest son, who is now in his mid thirties wet the bed occasionally until he was 11 years old. I had read an article on allergies and bedwetting. The biggest culprits, according to the research, was soda, milk, tea and some juices. Once my kids were weaned, the only time they had milk was in their cereal in the morning. So, I didn't feel that entered into the picture. But juice or soda could have. When he no longer had them in the evening, no more wet beds. He has never had any urinary tract problems. He is a successful young man with a doctorate degree. Good luck.

My nephew had problems and his doctor gave him a hormone that he was lacking to help his body mature ... sorry I don't have more details, but you could research it.

hello, my names T., my sitster had the same problem to. my mother took her in and they checked her out and found out she had a small bladder. the drs streched her bladder and she stopped wetting the bed after that. hope this helps . good luck.

I was a bed wetter as a child and actually had to have surgery to correct the problem. I was so young that I do not remember the details, but it was something with them opening up my urethra so I could get all the urine out more efficiently I think. Whenever I tell another Dr. about it they seem to know what I'm talking about so it must not be that uncommon of a procedure. Since I'm female this may be totally different for your son, but may be worth asking the Dr. about. Good luck!!!!

Hi T.,

Get to the pediatrician, if you have been there and they offer no advice find a pediactirc urologist. Sounds as if a under sized bladder is the culprit. One thing for sure is that you need to continue to take action until you get the answers you are looking for...they are out there. Hang tough and tell your son to hold his head high! Best wishes to you both.
