Guest guest Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Increased urine output is commonly reported by new SCDers..... but it seems strange that this would just start at this point, since he's been on SCD for a year. Anyway, when it has come up before, I believe it was something related to detoxing. There is more to it than that..... but I can't recall at the moment. You could search back through our archives for more posts on the subject.... or maybe some others can comment. Has the weather been warm? Has he been drinking a lot more than usual? Does he wake during the night to go that often, too? What makes you think he might have been experiencing more die-off? Have you seen any other progress recently? Sorry.... more questions than answers! Patti, mom to Katera, SCD 14 months frequent urination This has been discussed before BUT- My son is needing to urinate about every 30 minutes- I thought at first it might be die-off or something but it seems to have been going on since May? yesterday at summer school his aide said he had to use the restroom 8 times in the 2 1/2 hours he was at school? He doesn't seem to be in pain and the urine doesn't have any unusal color or smell- Any ideas why this is happening?

Sue > Re: frequent urination > Sue - You can get the WaterOz magnesium at www.herbalremedies.com. There are many other places to buy it also. You can find them by doing a search on the internet. Right now, I am using the WaterOz calcium. The only thing I don't like about this product is that I can't get information on how many mg of calcium I am giving from the WaterOz people. The bottle says to give 1/4 - 1/2 tsp. for a child, so that's what I give. With the magnesium, I know I am giving the right amount because the symptoms resolve. With the calcium, it makes me a little worried about whether we're getting the right amount of calcium, so I may switch to something else. Kirkman's has a hyperallergenic calcium that is SCD legal. Another note on the magnesium. It can be kind of tricky to get the right amount. Too much magnesium can cause the same symptoms as too little. Whenever I have tried to increase the amount of magnesium I am giving to Zachary, or if I give him regular epsom baths, he will almost always wet the bed. So, you might want to start with a 1/4 tsp. the first couple of nights and see if that resolves the issue and then go up from there so that you can determine the right amount for your child. Good luck! Zachary 4.9 SCD 9 months Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
