Stop Bedwetting and ADHD Behaviors – Start Probiotics for Kids

My son comes from a long line of bedwetters. I can’t count the hours of sleep lost since I woke him up to go to the bathroom. I can’t count the number of quarters I spent washing the sheets. The pediatrician told me not to worry about it because the bladder does not mature until the age of 7. She would invite her to help me carry the sheets up and down four flights of stairs every time I wet the bed. Personally, I had better things to do with my time every night after work than washing the sheets. She would rather invest my time and money in a home business and spend quality time with my son in the park so he can expend his energy.

I learned from a video called Tired of children’s behavior by Sue Dengate, that food dyes and other chemical additives irritate the bladder and cause hyperactivity and aggression. I learned from my preschool that there are simple exercises that integrate a primitive reflex called the Galant spinal reflex. So, I put my whole family on an additive-free diet and did the worm exercise with my son.

The bedwetting finally stopped completely.

So, my son broke his arm. His bone pierced his skin, so doctors prescribed antibiotics while he was in the hospital. He received two IVs filled with antibiotics for a small puncture wound.

In the hospital, he was constantly waking up to go to the bathroom due to being on IV fluids after surgery.

When we got home, he started washing the bed again.

Even if I took him to the bathroom in the middle of the night, he still wet the bed.

Then he got a high fever and got an ear infection and conjunctivitis.

Doctors prescribed more antibiotics.

(It took nearly an hour for a room full of doctors and nurses to find an antibiotic without artificial colors.)

I knew it from the Dianne Craft CD The biology of behavior that antibiotics cause fungal overgrowth and lower the body’s defenses and cause ADHD behaviors such as hyperactivity and aggression. Previously I had been giving acidophilus tablets to my son because he was very hyperactive. But, ever since we started an additive-free diet, I wasn’t that reliant on probiotics.

Finally, when he was too sick to go to his birthday party, I took him anyway and let the fresh air, sunshine, and good friends heal him from his misery. From that moment I decided that he would not continue with the antibiotics.

I doubled the acidophilus tablets and served him kefir shakes to cleanse his system of antibiotics and disease. Acidophilus tablets contain a milk-loving bacteria that breaks down the protein in milk and restores a healthy balance of flora in the gut. Cultured dairy products, such as kefir, yogurt, and cheese, contain lactobacillus acidophilus, as well as other cultures that help the body control the overgrowth of candida albicans and yeast infections.

A couple of days later, he stopped wetting the bed. She didn’t get sick again either. I exposed him to as much fresh air and sunshine as possible to keep his spirits up and keep him active.

Then, when he went in to have his splint replaced with a cast, the doctors wanted to prescribe more antibiotics.

WHAT FOR?!! For the operation, they said. I almost fell off my meat. Antibiotics to cut a splint and cover the arm with a cast?

I rejected the recipe. My son has been waking up dry and healthy ever since.

So think twice before giving your child antibiotics. Check with your pediatrician. If you decide to use antibiotics, consider using acidophilus and cultured dairy products such as kefir, yogurt, and cheese along with antibiotics. Be sure to ask for a variety of antibiotics without food dyes. There is a generic version of amoxicillin that comes in a white chewable tablet that tastes like sweet tarts.

Traditional societies have used cultured dairy products for centuries for health and vitality. So it makes sense that we should too. Continue to use acidophilus, especially after finishing an antibiotic prescription to restore the balance of healthy flora in the gut. Make cultured dairy a part of your family’s daily diet.

Stop wasting time and hard earned money washing sheets. You could be working from home and investing in your future with all the time you spend changing bedding and washing sheets. You could be enjoying some quality time with your peaceful child who used to be a child with ADHD.
