What about using pull-ups and not letting it get to be an issue - sounds like he has enough with adding the bed wetting issue -- there are other kids that have genetic issues without the ostomy and  I read recently there is some new info there and  worth discussing with a good urologist -- maybe some research along that line -- Good luck --  God bless him.
