BEIJING, April 24(Xinhuanet)--
U.S. experts said children troubled with bedwetting should avoid caffeine,
carbonation and citrus in their diets, according to HealthDay report Sunday.
"For bladder problems, anything that is an irritant is
bad. Caffeine is number one, and it's the most common thing that these kids get
from all the soda they drink," said Dr. Kirk Pinto, pediatric urologist at
Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth, Texas, in a prepared statement.
Chocolate is another source of caffeine, and citrus fruits
and their juices can also be irritants, the expert said.
Red dye is another irritant. Parents should keep the foods
and drinks containing red dye from their children, the expert said.
