Hi Dawn
What isn't clear from your message is whether your daughter is having
difficulty when she tries to go or whether she just "won't" go.

Especially if it is the former, it may be, at least in part, due to
dehydration. Over 90% of Western adults are chronically dehydrated and

this
can cause all sorts of problems. If your daughter is drinking less than

3-4
pints of water (not coke, not coffee, not orange juice, but pure,
unadulterated water) per day, it is probable that she is dehydrated, and
this could either be causing the problem or making an existing problem
worse.


Can you provide peer-reviewed research to back your view?

I think you way off base and incorrect.

All the best,

Jeff
