I am so worried, as this is now affecting dd's confidence and had a nightmare getting her to school today.
She suffers on and off with constipation and so I give her Movicol a couple of times a week. I am also desperately trying to increase fibre in her diet. She drinks lots of water (doesn't like anything other than water or milk) and eats a good amount of fruit.
Anyway, she has now developed smelly urine - not a urine smell though, almost like eggs. She is also wetting herself - not completely, but just some. When I ask her, she says she didn't feel like she needed a wee and it just happened.
I am not sure if the 2 are linked - the bowel putting pressure on the bladder. I have been trying to get a urine sample to the GP the last 2 mornings but she hasn't needed a wee. Going to try again later. Not convinced its an infection though as no pain on weeing, no temp etc.
Any thoughts, help, experience gratefully appreciated.
Thanks
