[QUOTE="DDD, post: 314947, member: 35"] I'm not an expert on this subject but I did have my youngest grandson experience "almost" have that issue. His stools were so compacted that it was difficult for him to pass and resulted in plumbing problems as well. He moved out of our home when he turned 18 and evidently, again, has the same type of issues. For him the solutions was increased fluids, a bit of diet monitoring, reminders to "go sit" and the addition of Dulcolax (I think that's the OTC name) which is a stool softener. There were no fights or big confrontations. He did not like my reminders but learned to live with it. by the way, almost fifty years ago after the birth of my first baby I had such solid stools that I literally screamed when trying to get my system going. Each time after I reminded the OB to start me on stool softeners as soon as I had the baby and never have had the problem again. There is no cramping or side effects...I can attest to that. Good luck. DDD PS: A warm fund bubblebath relaxed his body so he often would/could "sit" with success afterwards. [/QUOTE]
