Brief Answer:
Urine
Detailed Answer:
Hello. I just read through your question.
I agree with your pediatrician, that the most common reason in this age group is constipation.
I would also have her urine tested to make sure it is not new onset diabetes. It is also sometimes worth consulting with a pediatric urologist. They can usually help rule out and muscular issues with the bladder.
