Sudden refusal of potty

I've followed EC since my LO was about 8months and she was doing a lot of her business on the potty.... Until she got about 1yo and overnight she started refusing to sit on the potty. She's 14m now and it's just so frustrating. It's like we've never done the EC. Any advice?
