Which foods should your child avoid to help stop bedwetting?

"I was a bedwetter as a child, and my mother learned from home health books to avoid caffeine and sugars approximately five hours before bedtime. I only drank water if I got thirsty during those few hours before bedtime, and within days I was not wetting the bed and weeks I was completely cured! Things I had to cut out were Kool-aids, sweet tea, chocolates or chocolate milk."

They say 1 teaspoon of honey morning and night helps bedwetting. It works. I tried it.

Apple juice, applesauce, apples! I heard from a doctor about how apple juice is a huge culprit for bedwetting. He stated that apple juice not only has gallic acid, which many people are hypersensitive toward, but also all apple juice contains a mycotoxin – patulin – that survives pretty much any processing.

I tested this with my 3-year-old who had been potty trained during the day and had all of a sudden started having frequent accidents. The coincidence is that she had all of a sudden taken a liking to applesauce and had been eating it frequently. When I stopped the applesauce, she didn't have any accidents. When we re-introduced the applesauce, she started having problems again.

I have two children, one 4 and one 8. We have a history of bedwetting in the family as well, but I have noticed when I eliminate milk, yellow cheese and any carbonated sodas after 4 in the afternoon we very rarely have accidents. I have not had to eliminate them completely, but if you ever do an article on moods, yellow cheese makes my 4-year-old unbearable.
