Looking for answers to support my 19 year old with DS/Autism and severe

[Guest guest]

dehydration due to excessive urination. diabetes and diabetes insipidus were

ruled out! But the times between the dehydration has gone from 24 hours to 4-5

hours! he used to go without the proper liquid balance for 24 hours and it

caused problems. NOW after 4-5 hours of missing his liquid balance he gets very

ill! Any ideas! My 4 year old with DS/Autism also pees excessively but does

not have any dehydration problems it seems? or could microcephaly. intellectual

problems, dry skin and a hoast of other things our kids have actually mean they

all PEE too much and are dehydrated? Sure would LOVE a study on this! NOT too

may people measure urine output in DS kids! BUT I have 3 years of pee

measurements!!! And it is always between 3.5 liters to 6.8 liters. The input

of drinks are between 1.5 liters- 2.5 liters. So HOW can someone pee so

much!!!!! And could our kids actually have this problem of excessive peeing and

NO one really know it ???

drink....he gets liquid from applesauce and other fruit...but he pees a

lot....more than you would expect for a chid who hates to drink...hmm..
