Does Constipation Cause Childhood Bedwetting? with Steve Hodges MD

Dr. Steve Hodges joins the show today to share his unique work as a urologist studying childhood bedwetting and its link to constipation. We talk about the causes of childhood constipation and its link to bedwetting in kids, why so many kids are constipated without knowing it, how to tell if your child is constipated, when is "too old" for normal bedwetting and so much more. My favorite question was a hot take on asking Dr. Hodges about his views on Miralax and experiences with kids who have negative reactions. We even discuss why we designed our Raise Them Well Mag Go to help give kids an alternative to Miralax. If your child struggles with bed wetting, this is a must listen episode. Dr. Hodges is a Professor of Pediatric Urology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, is a leading authority on childhood toileting issues. He is dedicated to debunking common myths surrounding enuresis (bedtime and daytime wetting) and encopresis (poop accidents), emphasizing that these issues are never a child's fault. Dr. Hodges, residing in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with his family, has authored eight books for both parents and children, such as "The M.O.P. Anthology" and "Bedwetting and Accidents Aren't Your Fault." He shares valuable insights through his blog at BedwettingAndAccidents.com.
