title: [Enuresis and encopresis as a reaction to food].
abstract: A meanwhile 10-year old girl, suffering from diurnal and nocturnal enuresis and encopresis since she was a baby, had been repeatedly examined and treated by various medical specialists and a homeopathic doctor without any significant improvement. The incontinence persisted. Finally her problem was solved after an allergological examination. The skin tests and specific IgE antibodies were positive for various foods, some of them confirmed later by food ingestion challenge. She was put on a complete elimination diet, combined with oral disodium cromoglycate, and has been free of all complaints since 1 1/2 years.
