Kids with ADHD are almost 4x more likely to have soiling accidents. It's not a coincidence. ⠀ I'm Jennifer Lee. I've been a pediatric nurse for 15 years. ⠀ If you're the parent of a child with ADHD, answer these honestly. ⠀ Does your child squirm, cross their legs, and bounce around, then swear they don't need to go? ⠀ Do they hold it until the very last second, then sprint to the bathroom? ⠀ Do they hold their stomach and say it hurts, but still won't go? ⠀ Do they go days without pooping, then clog the toilet? ⠀ Have you found underwear balled up somewhere you didn't want to find it? ⠀ Have you ever lost it at them over it? ⠀ If you're nodding along, keep reading. Because I'm about to tell you why every single thing you've tried has failed. ⠀ And it's not your fault. ⠀ Here's what parents tell me they've tried by the time they get to me. ⠀ Miralax. It works for a few weeks. Then they start holding it again anyway, just softer now. ⠀ And this is where it turns on you. Soft stool leaks around whatever is still stuck in there. So instead of nothing for four days, now it's coming out in their underwear at school, and you're cleaning up more than you were before you started. ⠀ You didn't do anything wrong. It made it slippery without making it move. ⠀ And the doctor's answer is always the same. More Miralax. ⠀ Fiber. Gummies, prunes, pear juice, the smoothie they won't drink. All it does is give them more to hold. ⠀ The sticker chart. The timer after every meal. Sitting them on the toilet with the iPad until something happens. ⠀ And the question. "Do you need to go?" Twenty times a day. ⠀ "No." ⠀ Every single time. While they're squirming right in front of you. ⠀ Now here's the part nobody told me, and I went fifteen years without it. ⠀ It was never a gut problem. ⠀ Look at that list again. Every single thing on it is aimed at the stomach. That's exactly why every single one of them failed. ⠀ You've been fixing the wrong thing. ⠀ And I want to be careful here, because the blockage is real. If you've had an X-ray done, you've seen it, and it does have to come out. ⠀ But the blockage isn't the problem. It's the signaling. ⠀ Something has to tell your child to go, before any of it can start. That's the part nobody is treating. ⠀ And there's a study that shows it. ⠀ Twenty-one children with ADHD who were having accidents. The researchers put them on ADHD medication. They didn't touch their bowels at all. No laxatives. No fiber. No sitting schedule. Nothing. ⠀ Two thirds of them got dramatically better inside two months. ⠀ Now think about what that actually means. ⠀ Nobody fixed those children's stomachs. So what did the medication fix? ⠀ It fixed the signal. ⠀ Dopamine is the chemical the brain uses to flag what matters right now. It's what makes one thing stand out from everything else going on. In kids with ADHD there isn't enough of it to go around, so the quiet signals never get flagged. ⠀ And a full bowel is one of the quietest signals the body sends. ⠀ The doorbell is ringing. There just isn't enough dopamine in the house for anybody to answer it. ⠀ The medication gives them more to work with. The signal finally gets flagged. And they notice it. ⠀ That's why a medicated child can be in the middle of a video game and still get up and walk to the bathroom. ⠀ Same game. Same child. He can just hear it now. ⠀ So look at everything you tried one more time. ⠀ The Miralax softens it. The fiber adds more. The sticker chart rewards them for answering a bell they can't hear. And "do you need to go?" asks the one part of them that has no idea. ⠀ None of it ever touched the signal. ⠀ They're not lying to you. They're not being stubborn. In the moment you ask, they honestly don't know. ⠀ And this is why I stopped telling parents their child would grow out of it. ⠀ I read a thread full of grown adults with ADHD. 32 years old. 41. 64. Still doing it. Bladder damage. Pelvic floor problems. One woman ended up in the ICU at 26 from years of holding it. ⠀ Every one of them said the same thing. ⠀ "I wish someone had told me." ⠀ Nobody ever fixed their signal either. ⠀ Now. Most of the parents sitting in front of me don't want their child on a stimulant, and a lot of them have already tried one and hated what it did. ⠀ So here's the part that matters. ⠀ There's a plant that does the same job. Saffron. The research on it points the same way — it works on dopamine, keeping more of it available, which is the whole trick the medication is doing. ⠀ Which is exactly why somebody thought to test them against each other. Fifty-four children. Six weeks. Half on the medication, half on saffron, nobody knowing which. ⠀ The scores came out the same. ⠀ So when parents ask me what works on the signal without the medication, I tell them one thing. ⠀ Halla. ⠀ It's a little amber dropper bottle, and it works on the brain side, not the stomach. ⠀ The main ingredient is clinical-grade saffron. Not the cooking spice. That's the one that works on dopamine, so the signal finally gets flagged and they notice it. ⠀ The second is magnesium L-threonate, and that one is for the other half of it. ⠀ Because once they've held it long enough that it hurts, they're not just missing the signal any more. Now they're scared of the toilet. And a scared child clamps down harder. ⠀ Magnesium settles the nervous system, so going stops being something they brace for. ⠀ The form matters here. Almost every magnesium on the shelf can't get into the brain. That one is built to. ⠀ And that's exactly why they're in the same bottle. ⠀ A child who can feel it coming will still hold it if he's scared of what happens next. And a calm child who never gets the signal will sit there for four days. ⠀ The saffron gets the doorbell heard. The magnesium makes them calm enough to answer it. ⠀ Neither one does it on its own. ⠀ It goes straight in the mouth. Orange vanilla or strawberry sundae. No pills. No powder in the juice. No negotiating at the table. ⠀ And it's not another powder they'll be on for eight years. ⠀ Two things before you try it. ⠀ It won't work the way the medication works. There's no switch flipping on in the morning, and nothing wearing off at four o'clock. You give it to them every day and let it build. ⠀ And keep doing whatever your doctor has you doing for the backup. This doesn't replace that. It's the part nobody gave you. ⠀ Here's what parents tell me happens. ⠀ The first week, start one thing with it. Stop asking "do you need to go?" Just watch. The bathroom fights get quieter almost right away, because you're not fighting a bell they can't hear anymore. ⠀ Some weeks are worse than the one before. That's normal, and it's where most parents quit. ⠀ By week three or four, they start catching it earlier. The last-second sprint turns into a walk. ⠀ And then one day it happens. ⠀ They're in the middle of the game. ⠀ And they pause it. ⠀ And they get up and walk to the bathroom. ⠀ Nobody said a word. ⠀ Halla comes with a 60-day money-back guarantee. If it doesn't work for your child, send back the empty bottle and they'll refund you every penny. ⠀ Right now they're doing buy 2, get 1 free. ⠀ If you said yes to those questions, please don't wait for them to grow out of it. ⠀ EDIT: So many of you have messaged me asking where to get it.
