i have a 5 year old girl that is potty trained, but yet still pees her pants alot.  Not sure whats going on. even when we constantly tell her to go to the bathroom, minutes later she's wet again.  Doctors say she healthy, nothing wrong with her.

When you say the doctors said she's healthy, was that from a simple check up or did you visit a specialist? It seems like a specialist would be able to help you understand all of the possibilities that are going on.

My son does this for two reasons: too many salicylates (a naturally occurring food chemical) and when he was detoxing some heavy metals in clay baths.  We stopped the detox for now and we are on a low salicylate diet.  He also has what I guess would be termed ADHD sypmtoms when he has too many sals or artificial colors.  The allergy forum has more info on the salicylate thing and ideas to help.  Taking a magnesium supplement like Natural Calm can sometimes help as well.
