Hi Laura, Meg's not on ritalin, just stool softeners every day. We don't want her to be a 'zombie'. I've been doing some enemas lately and find the colon is really soaking up the water, so I must be very dehydrated although I try to drink plenty of pure water every day. I do drink coffee, so that may be a factor. People have told our daughter that they had the bladder spasms when they were young and just learned to live with it, or were given some medication that further dehydrated them. Happy New Year to you and yours. Jax in CO.
